a beautiful saturday

I can feel spring coming, hopefully sooner than later! Today it was only 52 degrees outside but it felt so warm and wonderful. We opened up a bunch of windows and sat out on the porch planting the starts for our garden. Our garden last year was so much fun and a great success. It added to our meal planning and allowed us to have weekly fresh flowers in the house. This year we hope to double that success. Here is our planting list so far:
sweet peppers
hot peppers
squash
eggplant
onions
zinnas
wildflowers
daisies
AND tomatoes

The tomatoes should be the exciting part. We ordered a sweet deal off of gardener's choice website (www.gardenerschoice.com) Two tomato trees for 6.98!!! They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee and are advertised as growing to be 8 ft tall with 2 lb tomatoes, that is about the size of a very large grapefruit! Can't wait to see these tomatoes!

We ended our beautiful saturday by going to the library and catching up on our magazine reading and eating Sushi for dinner. Now time for a movie and snuggle time with Moose.

Can't wait to post pictures of our garden!
