Oh boy, you southerners have me green with envy! It'll be 4 months before we taste a homegrown tomato. Most of the perrenials are poking through. I bought a really nice French lilac last year, and the buds are really swollen now. I can't wait to see the flowers! We've planted lots of new trees, and have started a new apple orchard with semi-dwarf trees, to replace the beautiful old standard orchad that the beavers destroyed. :waa: . I gave my 6 year old my old fenced in herb garden. We cleaned it up together last week, and he's been fussing with the plants, and planning out where he will put new ones every day. I'm so proud that he wants to be a gardener!
