The first cut is the....sweetest !

The spring season is officially in full swing. After watching 'my' Mets lose to the Brewers today, I went outside and conquered my Sunday chore. Yep, no more procrastination, I got 'er done. That's right, I mowed the lawn. The first one of the year.

It forces one to walk the perimeter of the pondarosa and ponder. This year I've planted a bunch of different flower seeds in various locations on the property and am awaiting signs of growth. But, there's no indications yet.

Last week I planted asters, larkspur, morning glorys and appropriately, bachelor's buttons. :) I also expanded my veggie garden last weekend and notice that the radishes have already sprouted. Yipeeee ! Harvesting for them is only 3 weeks away ! I eagerly await them and all the other veggies; tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, carrots, broccoli. I also planted cantaloupe and sugar baby watermelons and every year the big raspberry bush keeps getting bigger.

There is nothing like the taste of fresh home grown fruits & veggies ! It will be a fine summer !! dancing

What are your favorite; flowers, fruits & veggies ? dunno

peace

My favorite flowers are sweetwilliams, lilacs all the fragrant ones. Favorite fruits would be raspberries, cantaloup and watermelon. Favorite vegies would be green beans and zucchini. I agree nothing like home grown. Nice one.

Thanks NP. I just Googled Sweet William flowers to see what they look like as I am unfamiliar with them. I realized that I never answered my own question about favorites. Thus, my favorite fruit is a mango, but in NJ you can't home grow those. So, my favorite home grown fruits would be raspberries, peaches, & strawberries.
My favorite flower is a bird of paradise, but again, they don't grow too well in NJ, so I guess my favorite here would be sunflowers. For veggies my favorite would be sugar snap peas, tomatoes and asparagus. Yum !
