Spring is in the Air!

We have been totally spoiled this week. It is the beginning of April and we had not 1, but 2, 80 degree days in a row! How can sunshine, warm weather, open sunroofs, and sunglasses not make you think of spring?!?!

We have begun our "spring thinking" by beginning to plan, purchase, and plant our first garden. I wouldn't say I have much of a green thumb. I was able to grow herbs (legal ones like basil and cilantro) in my old apartment for a short time, but then I would leave for an extended weekend, not water them, keep the blinds closed, and they would quickly die off. But not this time! Not this garden! And not with my husband in charge! He is pretty serious about this and it inspires me to take it seriously as well. So far, Jeff has the starts of 2 regular tomatoes, 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 jalapeno peppers, and 4 red/green peppers. Today, he bought the starts of red raspberries and blueberries.



The backyard garden is going to be filled with all kinds of delicious veggies....too many to name them all. We both love to cook, so having that type of variety right outside our backdoor will be perfect!



I will also be starting another herb garden (I promise I won't neglect this one) as well as planting Tulips, Morning Glories, the Orchid Jeff gave me for Valentine's day, and Zinnias in the front of the house. I have never really planted or taken care of flowers, but it can't be all that hard.....right?!?!
