dontcha just love spring

after picking up brndon from school today, i decided to go with both boys to the farmer's market. we had beautiful weather (80+ degrees)!
boys doing their own thing. and bryan, loving the dirt! we didn't steal any lemons today....... too many peeps around. gotta go earlier in the day if we wanna steal lemons.


i just bought some gorgeous sunflowers at the market today......... makes me happy looking at them.

some pics of our garden. things are bloomin'!
yummy kumquat tree. most are already pulled off & eaten!

love the smell of citrus tree flowers! see that big lemon on the bottom. saving it for cooking! we have a humming bird that zooms on by & scares the beejesus outta me. humming bird comes by to get some of the nectar from the flowers on the citrus trees. they aren't scared either cause they get their share when i am standing right there! their wings flap so fast & that's what scares me (the sound).


tomato tree. 1 outta the 2 i have growing. i don't even really like tomatoes but fun to grow! i bought brandon's class one since they were starting a garden & wanted something edible to grow. i looked at it today and it didn't look that good....... looks like theirs need water! mine didn't do too well last year for some reason. had lots of flowers but never produced tomatoes. any tips out there?

We also have a kumquat tree =)
My mom grows tomatos too, we got a lot of tomatos a few months ago and now it looks like it's dying. Sorry, no tips here!

Loving your fruit trees and all the gorgeous flowers! What a fun capture of the boys playing too! Wish I could give you tips on growing them tomatoes - unfortunately, I am not a gardener at all...my bad! ;)
