The Garden

Today was another nice day with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures.  The perfect day to get the garden in.  Our garden has in the past been a hit and miss proposition.  For example, last year we planted some nice green peppers which we had started indoors but the day after we got them in the ground something ate all of them.  We tried watermelon and again something bore a hole in each one and ate the insides out leaving nothing but a hollow shell.  Our corn ended up with some kind of fungus and we got maybe 2-3 good ears.  We did have good success with cucumbers, spinach and lettuce though.  So this year we decided to plant a few different things and see what happens.  The lineup is tomatoes (including grape tomatoes, heirloom and yellow cherry tomatoes), cucumbers (banking on last years success), lettuce (romaine as well as leaf), spinach and a newcomer this year…eggplant.  It’s all in the ground so now comes the WWW… Waiting…Weeding…Watering.  I’ll post some pictures when I get the chance.

Tulip Festival

Went to the Woodburn Tulip festival this weekend.  The tulips were in full bloom with lots of reds and yellows and purples mixed together.  Just an incredible sight.  The festival goes until May 3rd this year: Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. Here are a few shots taken from my trip there.  More photos can be found on my Flickr site.

Spring Is Here

It’s been a long time without posts on this site. Work and life in general have kept me pretty busy. But Spring is here and it’s time to get out and start shooting the flowers. Here is one I took recently of a Magnolia tree.
