Late to the party

This random different kind of iris bloomed this week, long after the others are gone. Also beginning to bloom: blue salvia, onions (big white ball of flowers), and I see the beginnings of blooms on the butterfly bush.

Some End of April Updates

As April comes to a close, here is what is going on at the end of the month:

During the month, I did the following:

• Fertilized the grass with Neil Sperry's All Nitrogen Fertilizer
• Started mowing regularly at pretty low height
• Applied Image to kill Nutsedge and Annual Bluegrass in the yard once bermuda started growing
• Planted Annual color in front and back beds (need more in front beds)
• Planted sunflower seeds and have various sprouts growing

As far as vegetables I have some small bell peppers already forming, and no tomatoes yet, but the tomato plants are HUGE and blooming!  Pictures to follow.

Tomatoes!!!

Got the first of the Cherokee Purple tomatoes coming in!

Tomatoes blooming

Both tomato plants started blooming this past week. Looking forward to some delicious tomatoes soon! And really interested in the Cherokee Purple ones.

One of these things is not like the others

The Hops

Here are my cascade hops plants climbing the trellis twine...
No, they don't grow sideways, that's just the picture (and unless I install Picasa to edit (sometime) it will be sideways - sorry!)

Hawthornes

The ballerina hawthornes started blooming this morning. If you look closely you might see an oak tree needing removal as well.
