I am amazed. I bought a lot of different colours and cultivars of alliums, and no more deer in the garden. Even the hostas! But there are alliums right in front of them. :-)<br /><br />Chai Chai - lots of apple trees! Includes: Arkansas Black Spur, Haralson, McIntosh, Honeycrisp, Liberty, Cortland and a few more I can't think of right now! I want to acquire more heirloom apples from Fedco in the coming years - they have a great selection.Claire MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02603169881463831299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-1133425083310722792010-04-28T22:02:34.356-03:002010-04-28T22:02:34.356-03:00Wow, someday we hope to have fruit trees.

Spring is always my favorite time of year; it's so darned exciting seeing things come back to life, and seeing what's new, or finally ready to take off.<br /><br />That looks like a hell of a lot of digging. How's your back???<br /><br />Hey, at least you can tell the "real" plants from the weeds. I finally got a chance to attack most of the rest of our weeds today, but the carrots are still too tiny, and scattered, to pick through. Putting a serious border around the garden makes it easier to focus your energy, and your eye, on the Good Stuff.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-57725134925871365662010-04-25T20:55:30.521-03:002010-04-25T20:55:30.521-03:00I'm so envious of your gardens!

Thanks for sharing all your greenery - it gives me hope that we may actually see spring here yet!Split Rock Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024537773861076383noreply@blogger.com
