My mother's peach iris are starting to bloom and every time I see them, I have to smile. Why? because they remind me of her and the circumstances surrounding how I got them is funny. Shortly before my mom's house went up for sale, my brother and I went over to the house and raided her yard. We dug up everything we could. Iris, rose bushes, hosta, you name, we raided it. Iris were one of my mother's favorite spring flowers and these peach iris are unusual.
I also have some traditional purple iris that are starting to bloom and the color is just so deep and gorgeous.
Someone else likes looking at the flower beds....
I also got the rest of our vegetable garden in last weekend. I planted a zucchini plant and 5 tomato plants, 4 Better Boys and 1 Grape tomato. I may throw a couple pepper plants in there also. I decided against cucumbers this year because they take up too much space and I can buy them at the Farmers Market for cheap. I decided to try the Topsy Turvy planter than my brother bought me for Christmas for one of the better boy plants. We'll see how it goes.
The vegie garden is looking good...
We'll see how this fella grows....
Just call me Farmer Kristina....lol!

I like it...Farmer Kristina:) We have about 9 tomatoes of various kinds, 1 pepper, about 8-12 basil, and ooops, I still have 2 okra and a zucchini indoors. Guess we should get out there and plant them!
