Spring in So. Utah

I've got blossoms on my nectarine tree!!!! I am sooooo excited. Spring does come early in Southern Utah which I am so grateful for. I get to the point that I can not stand another cold day and then here it is. YAY!!!!!!!! I love getting my garden ready, planting it gives me a strange high. Going to the Star Nursery is so much fun, they give you little red wagons to carry your plants in...or kids. Rissa and Zaya love to give eachother rides while I am shopping. We have shopped there for eight years so the longterm employees recognize us and it is fun to see them in the spring. Oh little six packs of Sweet 100 Tomatoes, aniheim peppers, and bell peppers...I have missed you so! While I am not a great gardner, my heart is. I look forward to when my strawberry patch will yield it's yummy harvest. Irissa loves to go out side with a bowl and collect that days ripest fruit. There has never been enough to put away in the freezer, since they only last a few mintues inside the house.
My goal this year is to plant a mega garden due to the rising cost of fresh produce. Odly green leaf lettuce grows well here and it's fun to pick your salad for the day, and I have some herloom seeds I ordered from the interent last year that I never got around to planting so well try them out this year. I have try atleast once a "Moon and Stars Watermellon".
