The canopy of the trees is full now. Songbirds are in full throat and the woodpeckers are hammering. Many of the perennials are showing signs of blooms now after the daffodils and irises have done their thing.
Today, I have a few vegetables to show you in addition to perennials and a native or two.
The temperatures have been wonderful and the days have been sunny. Where are the April showers? We could use some rain. I have had to use more water than planned for my transplants.
Saturday morning, I will be posting on the Six On Saturday site hosted by Jim Stephens. Come join us to see gardens around the globe. Take 6 photos of your own and let us know what interests you in your garden. The link is here https://gardenruminations.co.uk
The salvias are full now. Sorry if the photo looks a little washed out since this was early afternoon light.
This lantana is a perennial and this is its third year. It can grow quite large in the yard so this one is containerized.
I am quite excited by the hydrangea here. Last two years, it was affected by very cold weather during the winter but it was spared this winter. It blooms on last years stems so it can be a hit and miss.
The walking onion patch is quite alive. It is a novelty but it captures my attention.
I have a very healthy small potato patch this year. This variety is “Carola” which is said to be a delicious white. I am looking forward to it.
The last photo is an Alabama native, Viburnum acerifolium. It is new to my yard and is in its first blooming.
Hope your weather is letting you out to enjoy your garden. Happy Gardening,
