This sweet baby is so precious. She laughs and smiles all the time. She laughs so sweet you can't help but smile.
Love, love, love, this baby.

Spring plantings

I planted this yellow delicious apple tree last spring.


I had a lot of apples on it so I pulled off most of them and left a few. The tree is about 5 foot high and has two branches.

I went to Sharp's Nursery and had Todd put this together for me.
I love this. The hummingbirds love it too.

 



My sugar snap peas are soooooo good. They are sweet and crunchy. I don't have as many vines as I wish I had but maybe this fall I can plant some more. Any way, these things are just good to eat right off the vine.

The strawberries are just going wild. Even with all the rain and flooding, they are still doing very well. A lot of them are rotten down in the foliage but there are plenty to eat and for a pie or two. I have already told my husband to leave two rows in the big garden so I can transplant the strawberries to raised bed rows. They will stay dry better on hilled rows and I won't loose very many next year. Some of the berries are ping pong sized.

This Clematis has been moved twice. It did not do very well in the first two spots. Last year it did pretty well. Blooms were sparse. This year with all of the rain, it has exploded. The blooms are very large and so deep purple. The arbor it is on has a very large clematis on the other side. It is taking over the arbor. The purple one will have to moved again. I'm going to name it, "The Traveling Clematis." Maybe I can give it a permanent home this fall.

My Spring Garden

Chives, strawberries, Sugar Snap peas and Lemon balm are growing up a storm. We had 2 ripe strawberries this weekend. The first of the season. The Sugar Snap peas are blooming and I can't wait to have some fresh to eat. They are good, right off the vine.

Spring Floods

This flood broke all of the old records. In Humphreys County, TN, we have roads washed out, bridges gone and people are still stranded in their homes after 3 days. It will take years to rebuild. And of course, hardly anyone had flood insurance.Schools are closed and we don't know when they will reopen.
People have been very good about helping. It amazes me, how quickly people pull together to help when things like this happen. People are good. I thank God, no one here lost their life. There were 10 lost in the whole state.
