gardens

We've had a bit of our own tulip festival going on. Last year I splurged a bit and bought bulbs from the garden store rather than the home improvement store. This year we had a lot of beautiful ones in multiple colors come up. We have four fruit trees and last year we moved our strawberries out from under the apricot to where they'd get more sun. We didn't have any berries last year and figured the plants were just re-establishing. If we have half as many berries as we have blooms I'll be ecstatic this year. There are hundreds of blooms. Apparently they like their new home. I included a picture of Andrew helping Paul and an after picture with all the tomatoes planted.

I had to make this picture a little bigger than the others so you could actually see those flimpsy green things in the middle. We have tomatoes. We (acutally my husband) starts them early each spring in doors, under professional grow lamps to get a jump on the season since we sometimes have cold temperatures all the way into May. We also like a larger variety than we can find in the local nurseries. These seeds were started about a week and half ago and popped up on Thursday and Friday. Last year we had actual tomatoes while the plants were still in the garage. Can't wait to eat them....
