Update on Our Yard, Flowers and Garden

It has definitely been a while since I've updated you on the garden(s). Our yard went wild while we were in PA. We came home with leaves on our trees and more flowers blooming. The tulips were seriously like 1 foot taller, and they were almost done blooming... SAD! THIS is my last post about our yard and what was up.

On one of the days after we got back, I went to the green house and got some annuals to plant in my big pots on our porch.
Here is the finished product.I also planted some pansies, and some other annuals around the yard.
This one was one that was already in my yard when we moved in, and it looked really pretty so I thought it needed some spot light.

My big project when we got home was to get my garden planted. But first I had to get the area ready, which meant digging out all the grass, ugh! I did most of it myself, but Briant came out and helped me with the last little bit, and then he helped me till. It was so much funner with him helping and it went by a lot faster. He even helped me till a spot for the transplants my mom gave me... oh I will get to that in a minute. We were gone that weekend to the Barn so I didn't actually plant my garden until the next Monday (June 1st). I planted: Peas, Beans, Radishes, Onions, Carrots, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Peppers, Watermelon, Cucumbers, and a Crock Neck Squash. Whew! It's a good thing I planted then because it proceeded to rain the remainder of the week, and it is still raining. Anyway, I went out to see how my garden was weathering yesterday and look what I found:

Radishes!

Lettace!

Peas! The rain washed away some of the dirt covering them, but you could still see that they were sprouting like good little peas. So I covered the seeds back up with a little dirt.

The tomatoes and peppers look like they are doing well too, despite the cold nights we have been having.Come on Mother Nature, it's June! A little more sunshine... please?!?

Mom my has been going through quite the project. She had to dig up her front yard because of a leeky water pipe. So alot of her flowers had to be dug up too :( She asked me if I would like to have some, and of coarse I agreed! She dug a bunch of them up and put them in buckets for me (until I got back from our trip). I planted the Iris' in the front yard, and the others in the back yard. I know they look a little shell shocked but... you would to if you just moved from somewhere you lived for 30 years! I went out to check on them today after work and they looked great. The Day Lillies were blooming, (don't mind the weeds in the background) and the Columbine were too.

Oh and do you remember these? I took this in March.

Well they are finally blooming. This is what they looked like today.
