Welcome!

The Leap Floral blog is the beginning stage of what I hope to be my exciting, fun, and beautiful future. I hope you enjoy my musings on gardening, flowers, recipes and other stuff. The inspiration for the name of my future shop comes from my Aunt Nancy, her favorite saying is "leap and the net will appear." When I was surprised by a forced career change, I was freaked out, but she (and the rest of my wonderful family) explained that now was the best time to make my dream of being the owner of a great little shop come true. So, I took the leap and here it begins...

Spring is springing!


OOOOh, I am so excited. I have slowly been noticing the ground breaking and tulip tips poking out and today I saw some crocus blooming!!! Yippie! So, this means the garden plans are in full effect. (kind of, in my mind...I'm a planner and a list maker, in real life, ehh, not so much). Let's spend some time in my mind...

Dalihas, yes please.
Tulips, mmm-hmm.
Zinnias, sure, why not?
Pansies, it'd be a pity if I didn't!
Hosta, check!
Peonies, oh goodness YES!

Onto the veggies:

Eggplant, two kinds instead of four
Tomatoes, five instead of twelve (seriously, I'm one person!)
Zucchini, yep.
Cucumbers, of course!
Artichokes, I think two this year.
Asparagus -- it's the fourth year, this should be the motherload.
Peppers - jalepenos, chili peppers and anaheims, i think...
Okra - why not?

I think that's it, my mind sure organizes well. In real life I'll probably end up with 13 tomato plants, 8 different eggplants and forget the cucumbers alltogether. Ah, the beauty of being your own gardener.
