Tuscan Sun

My garden is covered with blooms now, including my latest rose 'Tuscan Sun'. The buds are a beautiful terra cotta color, lightening to peach as the flower gets older. It is definately the burst of color that my front flower bed needed. We got some gardening done this weekend, including finally getting our new raised bed put in, and getting the tomatoes and peppers planted. This weekend we will be getting the other half of the bed filled in with dirt and planting the direct seeded plants. The brief cooler spell was nice, since it turned almost to summer temperatures when it was still March. Yay for spring weather!
