Tulips and trees and peas, oh my!

It looks like I missed out on holding a Guess-When-The-First-Tulip-Blooms Contest.

Really I'm just happy that Sage and my binge planting last fall (100 bulbs the night before a storm) paid off!

This one can't decide what to make of this week's weather: an equal mix of beautiful sun and blizzard-like snow
Taken 3-4 days before:

Here's Mark and Sean planting one of our 11 fruit trees!

And here's a "Hidden Pictures: Orchard Edition." Find 7 peach trees.

In addition to the fruit trees, Farmer Wilson (Dad) also hooked us up with 20 raspberry plants (19 of which made it in the ground; we're still on the hunt for the Lost Bush).

And thanks to Becca's birthday, we remembered to plant 4 rows of peas. When we ate snow peas from the store that night, Sage and Eliza deemed them inedible. Nice.

And on a non-gardening note, here is a little Spring Break sleepover in the basement with Suzy:

And what's 10 minutes of unsupervised time with a marker without a little action by Eliza?

Yay for tulips! Mom and Dad have some poking up, too. Now if only the snow would leave for good!

You all look way too productive. I feel like snuggling in with Suzy for a power nap after all that action! Nice work everyone.

Wow, Utah weather is psycho! But not as much as Liza... :) Looking good, you green thumb you!
