New Garden! New plants! New spring look!

I decided to change the blog masthead to look more spring-like. I wish I could say that I did it myself, but I had it done by a local digital scrapbook designer...with my detailed requests of course. I think she did a great job! Check out her digital artwork, and buy things! She has free stuff here: http://seebeesfreebies.blogspot.com/
And she sells things at Digitals too.

Now that it's spring, we are spending lots of time in the yard. Our first big project was to build me a garden. Yay!!! No more container gardening! Bob whipped up this raised planter, out of cedar I think, and I filled it with a carload (literally) of dirt and I've planted 2 tomatoes and a jalapeƱo so far. I'm going to add a cucumber or zucchini soon. Sort of a lot of effort just for 4 plants, but if it's successful, next year I'll do another one.





Parker found a worm to torment when I was planting herbs in another bed. I convinced her he'd like living in my garden, so she shortly set him free in there.


The finished product. We have it located in the back of the house by the trampoline. It's probably going to be too much sun, but hopefully we'll add another tree back there soon to give it a break part of the day.

Our winter plants are looking great, like they always do in the spring. Maybe their know their days are numbered. I'm so glad we planted the kale/cabbage stuff this year. It looks so pretty as it grows....plus it takes up a lot more room than pansies.

We got 3 new hydrangeas...the one in the picture is an Oak Leaf hydrangea, I've wanted one forever. Even if it doesn't bloom, it has such pretty leaves, and grows a little bit taller than the normal kind I think. The hosta is old. We also got 2 'pink lady' hydrangeas, (not pictured) that have reddish stems and back of the leaves. We put it out by the dogwood in the little circular bed.
