Gardening Phase I

I don't remember what this little flowering plant is called but it blooms purple.
This morning these had not opened, when we came home from dinner at the church they were open...love it!

Our yard suddenly turned green.  There is still some brown in there but it's about to look great, especially with the help of our friend Scott Gomel.  Scott started a new lawn care business, naturally we decided to support his efforts and hired him to do all the "chemical" care to our grass.
Chris has been working in the yard getting the flower gardens and veggie garden ready for planting.  It doesn't look like much but it will in a few months.  Can't wait for fresh, untainted veggies.
Two nights ago Chris and the girls got the seed starters going.  They planted lettuce, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, tomato, sweet basil, spinach, cucumber and zuchinni.  I might have forgotten something.  There's another tray for flower starters.  The girls love to pour the water on those hard little disks and then watch them grow.
