Garden and Yard Update

Here's a quick update on fun things going on in our yard!

Our iris have bloomed in the past two weeks. We have a bunch of flower buds ready to open any day. We like to look for new flower buds every evening.


The peas in our garden are growing like crazy! We've never seen peas grow as high, so we measured them. Two weeks ago they were 42 inches tall. The fresh peas are fabulous to eat!



And also two weeks ago, we had our big tree in the back yard removed. We never liked the looks of the tree and especially didn't like raking the leaves and picking up the seed pods.

Here's the tree the morning it was chopped down.



A hole in one of the branches.

I'm glad the iris bloomed. I'll bet they look so beautiful with the roses, petunias, etc.
