Gardening

It's great to have spring here and to be able to start my gardening projects. A friend of mine brought me several dozen tomato, pepper, and herb plants. I decided to try growing them in containers, and my friend also brought me several types of planters to try them in. It's an experiment, but it will be fun to see how it all turns out.

Over the weekend, I bought the additional containers and potting soil that I needed. I'm certainly not going to save any money on the veggies this year with the amount that I ended up spending to get everything set up. If it works well, then I'll do the same thing next year and hopefully get a good return on my investment.

My friend also brought me a cold hearty magnolia (Leonard Messell). It had a few blossoms on it, so I thought I'd share a picture of it. Enjoy!
