Spring is here!

It's finally here. Spring!...and all it's...coldness. I never realized how long it remains cold when you want the weather, i.e. sunshine, to reign in all it's glory. I've never looked forward to heat or summer for that matter. But, since I've taken such an interest in gardening...I can't wait. Yesterday we had a major rain. I'm a bit in shock since about a couple of weeks ago it seemed like summer wanted to take over. Today, it's overcast with a few bouts of sun. I can't wait to check in on my new plants. Speaking of plants,

I've purchased many new varieties to add to my garden.

*Orange Tree

*Avocado Tree

*Lemon Tree (I have a mini lemon tree.)

*Another Blackberry plant

*2 Blueberry plants (they say to plant 2 different varieties for better production.)

*2 Grape vine plants

*6 Strawberry plants

*1 Habanero plant

*1 Spearmint plant

*1 Peppermint plant

"My latest additions. Avacado tree, Blueberry plant, Lemon tree and Orange tree."

"My Avacado tree upclose. So pretty!"

"Eureka Lemon tree! Dare I say Lemonade!"

"I'm so excited this Orange tree has new leafage already!"

"Blueberry pie anyone?"

I'm not proud of the fact that I didn't grow these plants from seed, but when it comes to trees and vines, I'm ok making an exception. It takes SO long for them to grow. And, maybe they haven't been treated organically during their beginning life stages...but they will be now. lol

Welcoming in the Spring,
