Now wait a second!

Do you think our tree is confused?!

How does your garden grow?

I planted some seeds to get my garden started indoors. It only took a couple of days before I started seeing a couple starting to pop up and once one came up they all started to "take off"! Now I've got tomatoes (3 kinds!), zucchini, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, jalapenos and such sprouting in my living room! I love watching the progress. I'm always talking to Jordan about them and telling her that next year she will be able to help me plant our garden because she will be over a year old! I think she's excited ;) I remember helping my dad in our garden when I was little and I always had such a blast; it was a special thing for the two of us to get to do.

I've gone out to look at my garden "remains" from last year and was pleased to see my strawberry patch spreading and turning very green! Also, the rhubarb I planted last year is also starting to come up! It's gotten about 2 inches high and the leaves are sure growing rapidly. Each time I go out there the leaves have gotten higher and much, much wider! I love spring!

My parents got me us a plant last year around Christmas time. It was beautiful! But it is one of those winter plants that is hard to keep going throughout the year and I just about lost it. It actually had three plants coming out of the one pot and two of the three died. I pulled those out of there to give the partially living one plenty of room and I started trimming so that it could exert all it's energy to the live stuff. I've been watching it struggle ever since just hoping it'd come out of it. Well I am proud to announce that it has grown buds and those buds have turned into beautiful flowers. Isn't it just gorgeous?! This is the first time I have brought a plant back to life. All the other times they sadly die. I'm so glad it is with us for another year!

BUDS!!!

Remember these?!

Yep! It's my strawberries! I was about to water them on Friday and noticed a teensy weensy bit of green there in all that brown dirt! I was so stinkin' excited! The first thing that went through my mind was that I need to hurry & take pictures so I can write about it on my blog. I was so worried that they weren't going to come up at all so this is very exciting for me! I got another plant too. This one is a house plant but I absolutely love it! I just got it last weekend with my friend Jessica. We had a fun time hanging out while our husbands were working.
