I am ready for Spring. If it's going to be as sunny and warm as it has been, I at least want to be able to plant things. This year, I plan on growing more vegetables and less flowers than last year. Last spring was my first year of growing anything. I was fairly successful, I think. Fingers crossed for another good year.

Some things I have planned for this year are: green beans, radish
es, some sort of hot pepper, green onions, lettuce and tomatoes. On top of the vegetables, I will also be doing some herbs and an edible flower called nasturtium again.

For flowers, I think I'll do gerbera daisies and zinnias. My zinnias
last year did really well. I'm also hoping to grow something to feed the hummingbirds in addition to a nectar feeder. We get a ton of hummingbirds and even still have some in December!


I love this color gerber. It's so soft and pretty.



Oh zinnias. They might be my favorite flower.
