In the Garden

I'm told my life is like an HGTV show. Maybe we should have pitched it to them and gotten paid for all of this.

First update:
The flowers out front are Flag Irises. My aunt has them in her fish pond - they apparently love water. Once the fully bloom we should have a TON of them (judging from the dark purple peeking through the closed leaves). Mom says they bloom in the Spring and again in the Fall. And after that, we can cut them down with the weed whacker, dig them up, separate the bulbs and replant them over a greater surface area. Cool.

Second update:
We inherited a small strawberry patch in the back. After a few Miracle Gro applications, the things were standing straight up and had white flowers like CRAZY. The white flowers are disappearing and the strawberries are starting to form.



Will be a while before they're edible, but looks like we'll have a ton. This was one of the biggest ones.
