So there I was Friday night…out to dinner with my wife celebrating 21 years together, wedded bliss. Yeah, hard to believe that someone would put up with me for 21 whole years. I guess she has weak points as well 😉

I made the comment how excited I was. She smiled sweetly…and I realized I had just stepped in it.

I quickly made a short, heartfelt comment about being with her for so long and still excited about it. Whew! Crisis averted.

Then I went on to mention for the third time that day that I was also excited about having ordered the 50 bare root strawberry plants earlier in the day and that they should be in by Friday. I was pumped!

Yup, we have 25 Eversweet and 25 Albion bare root strawberry plants headed our way (see picture above). I am so psyched ! ! ! The couple of plants we tried last year did really well, now I am ready for a patch of em. We really can’t afford buying that many potted plants (almost $150) so we are going bare root. They should do just fine….I will keep you updated.

But, there is more…it’s spring…

The purple plum is absolutely gorgeous this year! Last year we had 2 very windy days just as the blossoms hit and they were gone before we could enjoy them. Not this year…beautiful !

And then there are the fruit trees in the orchard going nuts…even this newest peach tree in its second year…

Then there is the oldest peach tree…it’s fourth year…

Here are the lilacs I mentioned that I transplanted from bushes I dug up that had been completely neglected for almost 25 years. Here is one of them…

And I am totally excited about all the seedlings coming along for the garden. Several varieties of tomatoes, butter nut squash, two varieties of cantaloupe, and watermelon. 60 pots of them, some 75 plants in total. Of course only about 1/3 for us, the rest are for others to enjoy in their own gardens growing their own food.

So yeah, I was excited Friday…and I am excited today walking around looking it all over and taking the pictures. I hope you too are excited about the new growing season that is upon us.
