Spring has Sprungeth


 The Family loaded up and went right on over to 
The Home Depot
to finally get Our Garden.
They were having a KiLLer sale on Seed Packets, too.



Last year We had out the starting gate success. Started off great, then just went away. We are going to try it again.
We have:
Squash [seed and plant}
2 types of PumPkin {carving and cooking}
Cucumbers {plant}
Green Beans {seeds}
Sweet Peas {seeds}
Sunflowers {seeds}
Leeks {plant}
2 types of TomaToes {plant}, 
one being the Creole, 
developed right here at home {support your local economy}


 For the Beauty Garden:
Rosemary {plant}
Lavender {plant}
Chamomile {seeds}

For the Floral Garden:
Gladiolas {bulbs}
Morning Glories {seeds}
Moon Vine {seeds}
California PoPPy {seeds}

All the Trees are doing well coming back:
Lemon
Fig
Tangerine
Asian Plum

Due to all the wacka wacka weather,
We will be starting everything in containers
and then moving them to the square foot garden later.


I want to add an Apricot tree this year.

MuMs the Word


and I don't mean Mother.

I just recently feLL in Love with these plants/flowers called MuMs.

I feLL in Love with the Colors,
I feLL in Love with the fact that They are Autumn plants,
AND!
I Love the Hubby who bought them for Me, ")

My plants are dEEp PurPLe and a Dark RuSSeT, and they're just smacking of Autumn!
Also, living in the South, I should be able to enjoy them for awhile, too.

Here's some info on MuMs:
