"Shirley Tulips"


So happy to see these in bloom before our trip. Interestingly enough, they are named after me.

We will be on our way for a tour of the South to include Presidential homesites and libraries, led by a Presidential historian ~ beginning in Asheville and ending in Austin. We've been preparing for this trip for many months.

Today it was time for last minute gardening, of course. The peas, swiss chard and beets are in, as well as the potatoes. (The potato seedlings are planted in 4 reusable bags. As the vines grow, just heap more soil and compost in the bags.) All they need now is sun, warmth, and gentle watering. Mother Nature provides the sunshine and Jenna promises to keep the soil moist, as needed. Hopefully, by the time we return, we'll see our crops peeking out of the ground.
