More Spring Photos


Ads are appearing on this blog and I don't know why.  I am trying to figure that out.


The hardy geraniums are just starting to bloom.


The Purple Robe Locust is showing how it got it's name.  We are counting on it to shade the breezeway and it is starting to be effective.  Three years old.


The Cottoneasters have cute little red flowers.  The bees are loving this plant.


Wow!  This pie cherry is covered in blossoms this year.  


This Mountain Ash is two years old and has flowers at the end of each branch.  Hope it grows a lot this year.


I should look up the name on this one but I am going to say caryopterix.  Beautiful blue flowers that the hummingbirds love.


Our first strawberry of the year and, boy, was it tasty!

More Potatoes, Lettuce

Red Soto and German Butterball  Potatoes went in today.

Lettuce is in - about 15 feet of Red Oakleaf, Buttercrucnch, and a couple mixed varieties.

Watered the Street Side or West Zone overnight last night.

I probably could set up the tomatoes with the wall o water soon.

Got that cute little horse out and brushed him, cleaned his feet, combed his mane and tail, took him for a walk.  I love that little guy.

Watering the South Veggie Zone for an hour today to try to get the area moistened up.

Yesterday, I decided not to move the strawberries until October.  I saw a show on TV that said that is when to move them and make baby plants.   I ran some flat tube to start getting them some water.

It is so nice out that I am hanging the laundry on the line.

87 degrees today
