Hey All, I love tulips in my garden. They are the first sign of spring around the corner. But, once they have bloomed it's downhill from there. Then all summer you are left with the ugly leaves.They just get worse looking as time passes. I am in zone 4. My iris look great for the entire summer.Blooms or no blooms.ey All, I love tulips in my garden. They are the first sign of spring around the corner.

Imagine eating a crisp, juicy slice of watermelon on a hot summer's day and receiving great health benefits at the same time! Well, you do. An all-American favorite, watermelon is highly nutritious and packed full of the phytochemical lycopene. It's one of the few foods that contain it in large amounts.Other good sources include tomatoes, red and pink grapefruit, and guava. Lycopene is a red pigment that occurs naturally in certain plant and algal tissues.In addition to giving watermelon and tomatoes their color, it is also thought to act as a powerful antioxidant.magine eating a crisp, juicy slice of watermelon on a hot summer's day and receiving great health benefits at the same time!

These natural components are called phytonutrients and help the bodyâs blood vessels to relax in the forms of beta carotene and citruline. Citruline is also supposed to increase sperm count, another added bonus for baby making. Watermelon is not just good for a maleâs fertility diet plan. It is considered top among female fertility foods as well. The healthy components help with heart and skin health. Lycopene has been part of the fertility diet plan for some time, and watermelon has a lot of it â especially the deep red varieties. While I have not seen a lot of deep red watermelons around (these are the kind with the almost black outer shell), the watermelon we have been eating is still not blah by any means.
