		<title>Summer Flowers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These are 3 pictures of flowers blooming in our yard this summer. The first picture shows an Amaryllis belladonna plant.

		<title>First Success with Broccoli</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I first started growing broccoli about 2 years ago. We eat broccoli almost every week, because it&#8217;s so densely packed with nutrients. So I figured it would be fun to try to grow it ourselves. But I didn&#8217;t have much luck growing broccoli until this spring. In previous years, the broccoli plants didn&#8217;t grow much, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Springtime Roses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Roses seem to be some of the most diverse garden flowers. Roses come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and scents. They bloom over a long period from spring to fall, unlike many other flowers that just bloom in spring. Although, the most abundant and most beautiful rose bloom is always the first spring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pear Blossoms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our Comice and Barlett pear trees are full of blooms right now. The Bartlett pear tree (second picture) seems to have more blossoms than it has ever had.

		<description><![CDATA[Late March and early April is lilac season in our area. We have several of the Descanso lilac hybrids including lavender lady and blue skies, which do not require as much winter chill as the standard lilacs. I took these pictures on March 31. Lilacs have been one of my favorite garden flowers for a [...]]]></description>
