Count down to planting my garden

Here is what my veggie and flower garden looks like today., March 11, 2011.

I love that the birds stop to drink from the waterfall I made. It makes the over one ton of rocks I moved..worth it~

 

The hillside holds flowers and vegetables in the spring and summer. I have baby apple trees and blueberry bushes and anxiously wait for them to produce delicious things to eat.

In 7 days, I will be planting new flowers (annuals and perrenial flowers) to attract bees to pollunate the tomato, cucumber, bean, peppers, etc...that I will be planting. I will post a picture in May so you can see what it looks like then.  Food prices are high in America.  One tomato is about $1.50.  One cucumber is usually .50 Cents.  That adds up when you have a family of 5.  Also, I am leary of the chemicals that are used to grow/ protect food.  Tomato bushes yield so much.  Our peppes have done well in the past, too.   We like spicy foods, so the peppers will be used often!   I like to cut the flowers to share with friends or to brighten my living room.  It is a joy to see the birds in the garden...with lots of beutiful flowers of different colors.
