Safe planting is in full swing. Here's another goody to consider: Baby's Breath (Gypsophilia) seems to love it out here. Adds a nice touch to our flower gardens.

Somehow it was easier to train my kids to pick up their own toys.<br /><br />Looks like your garden is on its way! I love those early days, too, when you can find some new sprouts almost every morning. We've had such warm weather the last two weeks, though, that everything seemed to shoot up overnight.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-60756231344817586502010-04-16T17:47:15.083-06:002010-04-16T17:47:15.083-06:00Hi, Amy!
