Bluebonnets

I set out these bluebonnet plants for the front - got to start somewhere! there are about 20 of them, but as you can see they don't make a big splash. I will be adding many seeds in the fall and hopefully the front will be covered with bluebonnets over the next few years. This was Feb. 27 - already they've grown and the neighborhood as of Sunday, Mar 14 - the neighborhood is coming alive with color. Hope these catch up -

In the Beginning. . .

The first garden at our new home in the country - Potatoes are in the garbage cans, and the round raised bed is the first of five. I lined them with cardboard, then papers then mulches, dirts, manure etc. etc. and got ready to plant my tomatoes and peppers. This is supposed to be an easier way to garden (lasagna gardening) and I will keep up with the pictures as it progresses to let you know just how this works out. This was February 28 - watch for updates.
