Garden Galore

So my flowers that I planted last year are sprouting up and the tulip that I planted even bloomed, Yay! I like buying tulips that are wilting from Kroger, because they have them for really cheap, like $1.00 or something, and I bring them home and replant them because they are perennials, and will grow back. Supposedly, and I usually wind up killing my indoor plants, but since this one's outside... it lived!



These are my gladiolas or gladioli, also called sword lily. One bloomed last year, but that was unexpected since I planted them from bulbs last year and they usually don't bloom the first year- so said my father-in-law who gave me the bulbs. I have a lot more around the yard.



Irises that were here when we moved in, but never bloomed...



Irises that I planted last year, along with a new set of wilted tulips from Kroger, which I hope the irises will bloom this year since they get plenty of sunlight..



And last but not least, my little veggi garden. I'm trying to get them to sprout so I can transplant after frost. I realize that I will prolly have to put them in bigger containers, but I have never really sprouted anything but alfalfa and I am excited! Adam built an AWESOME raised square garden container and I'm so psyched. I'll post pics of that later.

Awesome! I didn't know you were such a green thumb. That's so cool you have so many perennials--less work and you get to enjoy them every year. Good idea on buying the wilted tulips for the bulbs.
