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.

how the garden grows episode 1



The first shot of Le Petit Jardin for 2011. There are many plants, all varietals that are tried and tested...with 3 exceptions. I have Green Zebra (yum), Purple cherokee, yellow pear, mr. stripey (first time...orange and red striped tomato!), cherry, and Italian Heirloom tomatoes. Rosa Bianco Eggplant and a new eggplant that I've never tried called green apple eggplant. They're little and green and are supposed to be delish. I also have red onions, cucumbers, tomatillios and jalapenos. Finally...I created a little squash room in the garden. I have zucchini, which are flowering like they mean it, and Sugar Baby watermelons. They are volleyball sized sweet melons that I am DYING to try. So, we're off to a fruitful season. All pun intended.
