Spring is here!

Spring has returned! (Albeit, with some freaky weather - I guess that's what we get for being on the gulf coast of Texas). I have returned to gardening after my green thumbs went into a long hibernation. And, apparently the petunias that we planted last year decided to come back too. AND did they EVER!!!!!

All of these came back with absolutely NO effort on my part. I guess they are happy in their new home.

The one thing I can't figure out is why the gardenia on the left is doing SO much better than the other two on the right. Maybe the ones on the right just don't like the noise of the A/C unit :-)

I started a new raised bed today. I'm planning ahead for a vegetable garden this year. We already have a yellow bell pepper on the way. I can't wait!

It looks like the petunias like it better away from the A/C unit too. Maybe Miska's been offering extra fertilizer?

I LOVE how great our yard has been looking. I can't believe how far it's come since we've moved in. You are definitely my green-thumbed hubby! I love you!
