Cookies and gardening

This past weekend we made a yellow cake with orange/mango frosting, oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and walnuts (my foolproof Oatmeal Choc Chip from the Quaker oats box recipe). We also spent some time buying some plants for our garden. This is what we have so far:

- tomatoes
- sweet pepper
- thai pepper
- strawberries
- spicy oregano
- sweet basil
- chocolate mint (it smells so good!)
- chives
- cilantro
- yellow begonias
- purple/pink hydrangeas
- spider plant

They all looked much better after being re-potted. Lucky for us WalMart had some clay pots for a very low price and we were able to get new homes for all of them. Here's a few pictures from before and during re-potting and some pictures of our baking results! The cake didn't come out quite perfect as it sank in the center after coming out of the oven. We think it was because I forgot to sift the flour before measuring it - won't be making the same mistake twice!
