It's Day 2 for the Where Lilacs Still Bloom Blog Hop (comments for Sandra Byrd)

on
Thank you dear friend Sandra Byrd for being today's host! 

Since Sandra doesn't have comments on her site, everyone has been instructed to comment here for your entry into the contest.  If today is your first day joining the hop and you are a little confused as to what to do, where to go, just visit here for instructions.  They are pretty easy, I promise!

Today's question (unless Sandra posted one):
What will you be planting this year in your garden? Or if you don't have one, what would be planting if you could?


A few other fun places to participate and engage.
  • Do you have a picture of last year's garden, or one that has just gotten planted? Let's see them! One place is on the Pinterest Community board, Celebrating Spring with Friends.  Anyone can participate, just visit the link.
  • Or the other place if you are not on Pinterest is Facebook.  Share your photos that speak of Spring to you on my Facebook page. 
  • In honor of Where Lilacs Still Bloom, Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing Group is giving away a membership to receive flowers for a year.  Enter here to win.
  • Don't for get to visit & comment on each blog so you can enter to win!
  • You can also follow me on Twitter, and you might find the monthly Story Sparks of interest too.


Tomorrow be sure to visit Cindy Woodsmall

I am going to be planting a wildflower garden in one bare corner of my yard.

That sounds wonderful Debbie. I have wildflowers growing around a labyrinth walking path and I love how the blooms change. Enjoy!

Me too, Jen! Sandra is a fabulous writer and did you know that her book "To Die For" has been nominated for a Christy award for the best in Christian fiction? A well-deserved honor.

I will be planting a Korean Lilac that I bought during Lilac Days at Hulda's Garden last year when we took my dear, little 88-year-old mother to visit. It's been sitting in a pot outside my kitchen window and has weathered the storms of winter. Now - soon - it will have a place in the garden just across from my window where I can enjoy it from inside and out! The fragrance of the blossoms is extravagant!

On a personal note - your sweet sister-in-law, Normie, is a good friend of mine (and my mother's) from my childhood days! Her sister, Bev, was my kindred-spirit friend through my growing up years in Bend. Their dear mother, who loved me like her own, introduced me to my sweetheart, now my 'groom' of forty years! So, my friend, I think we must be family!

I will keep my garden small. I hope to plant a couple of cherry tomato plants, a pepper plant or two and some herbs if I can get them to grow from seed. I already have a variety of flowers and some strawberry plants growing. I enjoy gardening but it is getting harder as I age.

I wish I could have a 'real' garden, but much grows well in our Georgia red clay. I only had 1 tulip bloom this year, which is sad for even me. Out back, I've finally gotten blackberries and raspberries to grow. This year I may actually have more than 2 berries. My husband and I are both so excited.

Do you feel your Mississippi River and John Day River days drew you to Hulda's story, when she found strength from the river near her?

I will be planting wild flowers, sunflowers (yes the mammouth ones), marigolds, and anything else that strikes my fancy. I might even plant a lilac bush. I just wish they would smell wonderful all summer. I have just added Sandra Byrd to my must read list.

Last year we planted the entire garden in flowers for our daughter's October wedding. This year we are looking forward to vegetables again. My favorites are purple beans and cylinder shaped beets!

I will be planting the only things I've ever been able to grow in our garden, peppers of all different colors & tomatoes. My mom has the job of planting the big garden & she said today it was all planted. Unfortunately we have a freeze watch for tomorrow night so she'll have to cover some of the plants & all the strawberries.
