Spring Break Plantings

Just planted:Looking even better:
During spring break, Barbara helped to plant a lot of things to add color to the house. In addition to planting the garden--tomatoes, herbs, and peppers, she also cleaned out a section in the front yard and transplanted iris and various flowers to the back yard in a raised bed along the side of the yard. Then, adding potted geraniums and hanging petunias to the front porch, it made spring look a bit brighter. (click on any picture to see closeups)




Here are some more before and after pictures--before was 3/22; after was 4/11.



















































Yes, the garden has grown! Herbs are in front & sides. 6 tomato plants--all but one currently with blooms. And 5 pepper plants.
So, how's this for added color in the backyard now?




Thank you, Barbara!

I love the pretty flowers. The cement blocks make great planters! Now why didn't I think of that?
