When Nana and Papa were here they spent many an afternoon out in the yard doing all the spring planting that I had been hoping to do but was sidelined by my surgery. Here is how the plants have fared.
Unfortunately the Basil is not doing well. This is the third plant I have bought and all three have died. I had great basil last year in the same pot in the same spot so I have no idea what is going wrong.
Close up of the berries on the strawberry plants. We have eaten four berries so far and hey were yummy.
The Strawberries and the other flowers on the back deck.
The ground cover and the lavender planted in the half moon bed by the driveway.
The English Daisies under the cedar. They are doing very well.
Here you can see all three plants. I like the white ones best.
The peonies are in bloom and smell great.
The roses have also gotten off to a great start although they need to be tied back to the wall.
The circle bed in the front yard and the Lillys Dad replanted. I also put some gladiolus and some Dahlia bulbs in here. We'll see if they grow or not.
The tomato plants Dad planted in the front flower bed. We put them here because this bed was empty, we haven't figured out where we are going to put our real garden yet and this is a place with lots of sun. They love it here.
Every plant has blooms already so we will definitely have tomatoes!

My tomatoes all died in a frost. Bummer! Have to get more tomorrow night when in Edmonton.
I see lots and lots of salsa in your future! Colleen - you should send Steph the bruschetta mix from the spice place in olds.... yummers and will go good with all those tomatoes.
Maddie "helped" with our garden. We'll see what happens. Sammy ate the seed potatoes. Again, we'll see....
