Ilene's garden

This is my perennial garden on May 29, 2006. It is two years old. I have planted about 30 new plants this spring. The vegetable bed is 30X30 feet. The flower bed around the edge is five feet deep. I hope for a lot of new growth this summer. We top-dressed the garden with soil pep this spring.

Sweet Peas

The cool weather is great for growing sweet peas. They were planted the first of May, and they are now about two inches hight. I need them to be blooming in 27 days. Do you think they'll make it?

Nickname

The origins of my nickname hearken back to the early days of childhood.

And, mmmmm, are they good.

Go beans!!

Spring is Here!

Gardening is my passion in life, that is, next to my family. I love to be outside and work in the soil. Life is beautiful and especially so in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where we are currently emerging from Winter into the beautiful rebirth of Spring.

My artist palette is a 3/4 acre plot East of Idaho Falls. I've been constantly improving the land for about 3 years now.
