Hmmm... flowers.

In the spirit of spring and that planting bug that always hits me and then dies with my plants 

in the middle of the hot summer -  a post about flowers and some pics of the lovely bouquet

of tulips given to us for our anniversary from my family.

Martha Stewart always gets me going with her beautiful pictures of perfect blooms and  the "easy" 

 care. This year we're trying a few tomato plants and some herbs. Hopefully they will thrive. I don't 

have a place for an actual garden yet, so they have to be in containers. I'm also interested in getting

some Ranunculus bulbs.  I think this is my favorite flower period. 

Are they not gorgeous? and how awesome would that be to have them growing in your backyard to 

bring in the house whenever you like. If anybody around here has grown these please comment and 

give me tips. From my research it looks like I would have to dig them up and store them inside so they 

don't freeze out during the winter, but they seem like they are a pretty easy bulb to keep alive. We 

shall see. Happy planting to everyone.
