Spring In Idaho

Flowering Plum Tree
One of our Garden Boxes almost finished.

Rock waterfall in front courtyard.


See the pretty tulips for a few more days.



Spring is finally in full bloom in Idaho. Charlie bought a wonderful water fountain for the court yard by the front door. It makes a wonderful sound and it is a great compliment to the spring tulips there. Our flowering plums are in bloom which makes the whole yard wonderfully fragrant. We covered the garden when we went to Nauvoo but we still want fresh vegetable and tomatoes. We bought a book about Square Foot Gardening. Charlie built the boxes and we mixed the soil ingredients just as Mel suggested. He promised no weeds and wonderful harvest. We are ready to plant on Monday. Wish us luck. I feel a green thumb growing and Dad found his good luck gloves so we are sure we will enjoy success!

That water fountain looks great! What a good way to spruce up the walkway. Can't wait to see it in person! And I'm excited to see how your vegetables turn out. I sure hope the tomatoes turn out because garden grown tomatoes are sooo good!

Fun post. We have had a waterfall in our backyard for years. We did one in the Douglas street house and now we have had one here for about 5 years. THey are so nice and I agree that you will love the sound of the water. I am interested in your garden. We plant one, but it is not weedless.
Are you going to Nauvoo again this year? I am going to be going through about the 6th and 7th of July. I would love to see you if your there.
