How beautiful a start to Spring. The sunny days and ample rain has been making it spectacular. It is such a treat after the dreariness of January and February.
It’s been a very busy week for me. Some potatoes appearing and my onions are large enough to enjoy as scallions. I have planted some verbena, some cosmos and some snapdragons in the perennial bed.
Several container plants have been repotted and this years first crop of propagated seedlings have been potted up.
This Saturday, look for the SixonSaturday group. Gardeners from around the globe will be posting 6 recent favorite photos and showing the best of their gardens. Here is the link https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. We are hosted by the capable Jim Stephens.
Solomon’s Seal
Blueberry
Florida anise
The Solomon’s seal should be bloom in a few days but the arching stems with the buds are attractive. The grouping is thriving and multiplying.
My three blueberry bushes are off to a great start and are covered in blooms. I can’t wait to be able to harvest some but I do have to keep ahead of the birds and even deer who really enjoy them too.
The Florida anise is a beautiful native shrub which has been thriving in my yard. It does need some attention in the heat of summer with extra water.
Golden Alexander
The Golden Alexander has reseeded in many locations in the yard much to my pleasure. It is a very elegant native.
The Columbine is in a planter that sits on a block wall. It has reseeded heavily in that location and it is a very agreeable bloomer.
The last photo is a late blooming daffodil. I have lost the name but it is a very pretty bloom.
I hope you have an opportunity to spend some time in your garden. It is a wonderful time of the year.
Happy Gardening!
