Garden

My roommates have been hard at work trying to make our yard look nice.Fortunately we have done a pretty good job. I think... We pulled up our tulips as they had all bloomed and lost their petals. So we replaced them with vegetables! We have grape, cherry and regular tomatoes, two bell pepper plants, string beans, snow peas, zucchini, butternut squash, and onions. We are excited about them, Ill put pics up one day... But thats just one side, oh and on that side we got a trellis with a climbing clematis, then around the bush we have a rose bush and peonies, across the path we have strawberries! they are starting to grow and there are TONS of them! IM SO EXCITED! to the side of the strawberries we have woolly thyme, and another rose bush. Then on our porch, surrounding our porch swing, we have a bird bath with lavender, delphinium, and small purple filler flowers, then a nice square pot with a mona lisa, columbines and snowdrops with a cute wire fence in the back. Now, to the herb garden, in beautiful hanging baskets we have: cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, mint, lemon balm, chamomile (SP?), oregano, and one more that I just cant remember... anyways we have been busy planting, watering, and growing all of our vegetables! We finally mowed our lawn so it is beautiful! This morning I am working on getting rid of six inches of dirt around our porch so we cah plant our marigolds and brighten our yard even more! Shannon, Jaycee, Meisha, Sabrina and I and of course all our friends really enjoy sitting on the swing enjoying the warmth of the spring sun looking, and smelling!, the beautiful flowers!

You pulled up the tulips? You know you're supposed to leave the bulbs in the ground so they can come back next year. But the rest of your garden sounds awesome. You should post pictures.
