Of the many many wonderful things about Spring I'd have to say among the top five (up there with sunshine and bar-b-ques) are blossoms! It's such a brief period and will be gone before we know it so it's really worth the time to stop and soak it in a bit.
When else to otherwise ordinary trees look so fancy? But I must say the most exciting single blossom belongs to one of our adolescent pepper plants!
Yay! This is the first blossom to open (April 15th) we have a few other plants that are almost there all of which are from a variety called Healthy. Some of the Burans have some fairly developed buds. Lets hope this translates to early peppers. We'll see. You know you'll hear about it; what else do I have to blog about? There's the tomatoes of course which we have re-potted to yogurt cup sized containers. Now everything we started in two black plastic seed flats is currently held in 9 flats.
They spend their days outside and on chilly nights (which is still most nights) they come inside. Last night was their first night out... camping for seedlings.

your plants look great. We put our onions in today about 2-3 weeks later than they should have gone in but it has been very wet here the last 6 weeks. Also put a strawberry into a big planter for year round on the patio. It has one large and 3 small berries on it already from growing in the little po first. Putting the tomatoes and squash in the ground in about a week. Cross your fingers. Nights here are still in the 40's but they keep saying it is going to warm up. LOL
Oh I love it! Love the blog, these little plants, the blossoms and love you! So excited to learn how to garden :)
