Springtime in Idaho

Moving to Idaho in the fall meant that most of the foliage/flowers/grass was brown and dead. It looked pretty unappealing, to say the least. I've been looking forward to spring to see what sorts of flowers would appear and yes....Idaho is green in the spring!



Our first flower! Izzy stopped to smell it....and would have eaten it if I would have let her.



"What mom? Tulips aren't for eating??"




I can't wait for this patch of tulips to all open!




Jed and I also decided we would like to have a vegetable garden. I planted my tomato and sweet peppers in these peat moss cups. I also planted some sweet pea flowers and petunias. Now we just need a garden. Haha!



And we need to keep Izzy out of them! I planted some iris tubers I brought back from NY and about 5 minutes later, Izzy had unplanted one of them and it was in the middle of the yard. Ugh!

You mean you live on a farm and have no room for a garden? That sounds like a good idea tho! I need to start gardening as well. Its finally warm enough to.

Jeff's been busy in our greenhouse, getting things ready for the garden! Luckily, we have no Izzers eating things - although the stinkin' deer have nipped a lot of our flowers already. Ug*
