I can finally say I am done with my spring gardening at home and abroad for this year. The manure has been spread, the soil has been turned, the seeds have all been sown and the plants have been planted. Now add some water and sun and presto. I took a bunch of pictures for a time stamp and I want to add more as the season moves forward. Victoria picked all the flowers this year so it looks like a strong pink, purple petunia theme. Should be interesting with the red cedar mulch. Special thanks goes out to Scott and Bryan for helping with the driveway sealant. The kids and I gave the big turtle a coat of paint. Now he just needs a name. What do you think?

Victoria is still working on the little hippo.

I put up a rabbit fence around the veggies out back. Last night there was a bugs bunny convention just outside the fence but no bunnies had tickets. Security showed up and scared them all away. Bottom line, the pepper plants live to see another day safe behind the walls of the vegetable garden Alamo.
