How Does Your Garden Grow?

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this time of year!! I love seeing the Dogwoods bloom in early spring, and when the blooms of the Dogwoods are fading, the bright blooms of the azaleas start shining through and pretty soon the Crape Mrytles will start showing off too! When we bought our house two years ago, Austin redid all the landscaping and he did a beautiful job. We have a year round showing of colors in the front and the back of the house. Included are a few pictures of the Spring Plant Show (lol:) at the Delanos.

Nandinas and daylilies in the back of the house.

This is just a cute little poem I found...

Dig In by

George Shannon

Dig a little.Dig a lot.

Dig a brand-new garden spot.

Plat a little.Plant a lot.

Plant the seeds and bulbs you bought.

Wait a little.Wait a lot.

Wait much longer than you thought.

Pick a little.Pick a lot.

Share the best bouquet you’ve got!

We also decided to plant a garden for the first time. In the past I have always gone to my parents to get the fresh veggies that I wanted, but this year we wanted a small garden of our own to share with Lane. We decided to plant corn, tomotoes, a variety of peppers, cilantro, cauliflower, a squash plant, peas and Sunflowers. I am so excited to see how our garden grows! I will try to update the pics of the progress of our garden and maybe make some SALSA!!
