Springtime in Shreveport

[Allen Marsalis]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I am using some new software for the featured articles. This is the first time I've used it and I think I finally have it all straightened out. Well except for the first character in each paragraph being bold. I'm still working on that. Also I forgot a whole paragraph! But it's there now. I hope to get better with more practice. I still haven't decided on the subject of the next article and I hope to see a few new authors here soon. I will admit that the featured article is the most fun aspect of my job. Certainly better than preparing for tax season. (another part of spring that I failed to mention)

I have a large garden and way to many bushes and Crape Myrtles in my yard.
The garden I enjoy and the flowers in the spring are great but still nothing like a fall garden which is later this year. I will attach a shot of me broccoli it grows from September till February and taste great and gets in your teeth big time For more info on broccoli click here. Great stuff

Now just for my wife and daughters oh and for the birds too Sunflowers. They are nice to look at and bring in some really cool birds too.


Note the Bald Cypress which is a deciduous conifer in back ground ! I planted it 17 years ago 6' tall and 2" diameter.

These are pictures of my little "french" garden beds. I have two of them, one square is all tomatoes while the other square is cucs and peppers.

This is great. I have some great pictures of hummingbird gardens I may post later. The humming birds are here as are a variety of migrants that are beautiful. If you are not feeding birds you should be.
