Springtime at the Van Houten's

Here's a view:



We planted grape hyacinths....


Tulips with a few remaining daffodils...




And a few suprises like these purple tulips we didn't know were there.

what beautiful flowers!!! are these the ones you emailed us that i couldn't open?

Almost. The ones I sent you had all daffodils where the tulips line the walkway. They are almost all dead now. There really wasn't much overlap where we had both side to side. I'll try to post that later.

we're planting other things too. we have rhodedendrons,azaleas, three hydrangea bushes, heathers, lillies, a peony, and stuff already there from previous owners. The problem is that it isn't well designed and there are random bubls coming up in things. We want to re-do things. we're planting a vegetable garden. We discovered last year that we have excellent conditions for tomatoes and were overrun by them last year, so were going to do a few less of those. Also, we're doing bell peppers, cucumbers, herbs, sunflowers, maybe lettuce, and some walla walla sweet onions. the in-laws are going to get us some more flowers.

the white flowers are some kind of narcissus

B and Meg this is Mom Connie. I am so glad you two are enjoying designing your yard just the way you want. Brian watch out for those tomatoes this year. They might just grow over the roof not just up the side of the little house. Looking forward to exploring the plant nurseries with both of you. Dad and I love to do that. It always cost us money. Think about what color of roses you want.
