I did end up getting a couple of my beloved red tulips this year. I thought they were going to be pink but I was wrong. I just love the painted inside. Today this one was wide open taking in the sun. The very center of the flower is so bright it almost hurts my eyes to look at [...]

The tulips are finally out. These are my favorite spring flower and I’m glad mine are finally here. While living in Ohio someone told me that if you want to protect your tulips from the squirrels than you should plant some daffodils along with them.

They are all pretty small for russet potatoes but I’ll give them a go anyway at the table. This is my first attempt at growing potatoes so I am happy to have any at all. I still have one other potato [...]

I wish I knew more about each of the plants I was growing in my garden. This is pretty much my whole green bean crop. I’m waiting on a few more but this is pretty much it.
I had envisioned at least enough for our whole family to have a serving or two at dinner a couple of times, but I think [...]

I have never grown garlic before and had no idea how to know when they were done. The plant died back and so I pulled it out to keep the garden looking nice and out these guys came. I got on the internet (something I should have done when I planted them)and I guess they [...]
