First Strawberry!

Not quite red yet, but I am going to enjoy this little guy in a couple of days!!!

Front door containers

This year, I did a red theme in the front containers. Mainly as a feng shui block. I live on a T intersection and I read somewhere that red by the front door can block the negative energy from coming into the home. Plants are verbena, calibrachua, licorice plant, impatiens and anenome (which I had dead headed before making this photo)- pretty perennial flower.

New beds

Thanks to my husband and father for digging out 2 new beds and turning over the vegetable garden.

Planted some wild flower seeds in the front with Cy, and some seeds from my neighbor. In the back, I put in the tomatoes and peppers that I grew in the kitchen window from seed.

Mint is going crazy. Added some parsley, basil, rosemary and cilantro from the farmer's market and extra parsley from the neighbor.

Mothers garden

Things are certainly starting to come together.

Sedum is looking mighty fine, added some lamb's ear, thank's mom. I think I need to change my perennial garden name to mother's garden- since all of the plants are from mom.

New this year...
