Yesterday consisted of a long day of getting our yard in some kind of shape that we would be happy with.\u00a0 We had gotten 20 azaleas and planted those along the front walkway of our house.\u00a0\u00a0 Mulched and ready to make the front yard look so much better.\u00a0\u00a0 We’re the third owners of the house, the first owners were apparently plantaholics.\u00a0\u00a0 I realized there is a five-foot azalea growing at one corner of our home when the white blooms showed up this week.\u00a0\u00a0 A lilac bush is also blooming, as are plenty of daffodils.\u00a0 There’s a group of peonies that are budding as well.\u00a0\u00a0 I planted 20 or so alocasias along our back driveway that I had been growing in a pot for about 5 years.\u00a0 I am sure they are happy to get a spot of ground to call their own.<\/p>\n

My wife’s daffodils, hyacinths and tulips are in full bloom and look spectacular. \u00a0 I think she is very happy with the variety she planted.\u00a0 Irises should be blooming next week.<\/p>\n

We plowed up a small patch, about 15’x15′, for a vegetable garden.\u00a0 We’ll be planting tomatoes, bell peppers, squash, cucumbers, cantaloupe and maybe eggplant in a couple weeks. \u00a0 A smaller herb garden will be fixed up later.\u00a0 Both will be organic, of course.<\/p>\n
