Tulips from Carrie, therefore I will forever call these Carrie Tulips!
Mom says this is Spirea. I don't care what it's called, I love it. I love the teeny, tiny, perfect little flowers.

So colorful
I'm loving the color in our beds right about now.

Spring has sprung!
I'm tired after a weekend in D.C. with Mom and Christa, but really need to get going with spring photos. So here are a few!
Plumeria, first thing that was blooming this year. This was a "tag along" in a pot of phlox I bought a couple of years ago.
We are 99.9% sure that in that glass block, with the pink flourescent plastic flowers, is St. Joseph.
Love the vibrant blue!
Our pear trees are blooming, yay!
Some new primrose I added this year, with very big flowers. (Along with Mrs. Pampelone's primrose, a columbine and two bleeding hearts I planted last year)
I spent four years trying to rip this out of the bed. Last year I didn't get out there early enough, and it bloomed, it is a Flowering Quince! So, I let it grow...

November
Today I dug up the voodoo bulbs - some of them are HUGE! And there are lots of babies, so our voodoo bulb stink fest next spring should be fantastic. :-)
I also pulled the canna from the big pots so they could come inside for the winter. They didn't bloom this year. I need to figure out why so I can try to avoid whatever it was that I did wrong for next year.
Things are looking very fall-like in our yard. Miscanthus:
Asparagus:
Hydrangea:
Last rose bloom:
Rudbeckia, still plugging along:

Don't hate me!
Okay, here's what September brought...now that it's almost October.
The woodchuck got the zucchini:
The sunflowers were falling over (still are):
Really BIG potatoes!
Corn, peppers, and wax beans into the freezer:
And sauce:

Steve isn't blogging...
So I will post some veggie photos!
Tomatoes, 8/23/09
The paprika peppers are delicious!
Our green beans have anthracnose:
The delicata squash vine looks like it has wilt, but we're not 100% sure. Just in case it's a borer, we have harvested the squash, hopefully not too early!
Apparently this cucumber was hidden...1 lb. 7.5 oz
And here's what I picked tonight: eggplant, zucchini, peppers and a variety of tomatoes:

Mmmm...zucchini bread
Okay, so it's not pretty, but it tastes good:
Here's the recipe: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Whole-Wheat-Zucchini-Bread/Detail.aspx
Out in the gardens, the phlox is still going strong. And the white is hiding behind the purple again this year:
Here's a Coral Bell, and a lot of weeds, in front of the phlox:
The Rudbeckia planted themselves a little more in front of the pear tree this year:
The Resurrection Lily has two stalks this year!
This week we picked quite a few tomatoes (and zucchini). I froze all these tomatoes today, then went outside and picked more:
