Spring is finally here...

I walked outside the other morning and saw the prettiest site...



My azaleas were blooming, we had a beautiful flower on one of the hibiscus plants, and we had some new flowers planted in the flower beds. This was a true sign that the bitterly cold winter we had has finally left town for good. I am excited about that.

Todd has also turned a large portion of our backyard into a farmer's market (maybe to cut down on the mowing, but the garden is much more work). He has a ton of vegetables planted. I think he is worried that HEB and Kroger's might have a shortage. And if they do, we will be prepared to fully stock their shelves.



He is growing:
tomatoes (lots of them)
green beans
watermelon
squash
zucchini
several kinds of peppers
basil
onions
chives
rosemary
cucumber
patio tomatoes
planting okra later
