Spring Time in Magnolia, Texas

I love the spring time.  Seeing the flowers bloom and hearing the birds sing makes me smile. A little look at my so called organic garden. Here is a picture of my peach tree.

                                                           green onion


                                                               cilantro


                                                              mint leaves


    Here is the story about our romaine lettuce.  We had planted them mid February and this is a picture of what they looked like March 15.  Just in one month's time. I had cut some so we can eat it during our Spring break vacation.  Well, they tasted bitter. We tried to make them work by mixing them with "store bought" romaine lettuce. We added dressing and they tasted okay.  I guess Vinny and I both pretended that they tasted okay.  Then later we found out that it takes about 85 days before we can harvest and eat them.  OOOPS!!  That means that we really can not eat them until end of April or beginning of May. Hopefully, the bitterness will go away. They do look pretty though.
