Spring has definitely sprung... everywhere in my neighborhood... save the barren wasteland that is my yard. It is a shame really. I have always had gardens... and I have even had some glorious flower beds here at this house... But the past few years I have had almost everything in my yard die (except for all the trees thank god). I think it has alot to do with a malfunctioning drip system... and me traveling so much and not tending to anything. Right now... about the only thing "sprouting"... are some perennials in pots on the patio... and a few very brave tulips. Do not despair however... I am going to try to fix that... soon..
