Now that the temperatures have reached the mid 80's I thought I would post some pictures of my newly potted plants. Here is my disclaimer: I am not so good at gardening. I have tried for 3 years now to grow tomatoes and I haven't had any luck. I am going to give it one more go. This time I did a little research on line and found that if you plant Marigold, Thyme and Sage it helps them grow. These flowers are pretty new. I am hoping they will still look pretty and bright when Bill's folks come to visit in May.
So far so good. I have two little tomatoes growing. Yeah Me!
My little cluster of plants. Two tomatoes and a marigold.
Doesn't this just say Welcome. I found the pot on clearance last year and I just love it!
Snap Dragons and Marigolds. Supposed to be desert hardy. Lets see if they are Lexi hardy! (the big tall plant is a bouganvilla...In the summer it has bright pink flowers. When they drop it is a mess, but I love the bright colors and so far I haven't killed it yet!)

Oh, I'm SO jealous! We have hard frost until June 15th. I can't even think about planting any flowers 'til then. My peas can be planted around Memorial Day--two whole months from now!
I think this is your year Lexi!
You've got 2 tomatoes growing? That sounds really promising! Good luck to you! I have a total black thumb when it comes to gardening type things. I kill everything no matter how hard I try. Your yard is going to look so cheerful!
I'm so jealous of your plants. We had snow today... :0( I think they look beautiful! Good luck on the tomatoes!
The green tomato makes my mouth water...I've been dreaming lately of fresh garden tomatoes. We only have 4 months to go!!!
Love your blog...I'm glad we have a way to keep in touch now! --Jen
Beautiful! I think you're fooling us all--you have a golden touch where anything you try flourishes! I've had an itch to plant something, though not courageous enough to try veggies yet...maybe next year! Potted flowers though, I can do that! Oh, and I do LOVE the cute little pot by the front door--what a deal!
