Well it is here again! Spring came on quite suddenly here in the west; snow, snow, snow, rain, snow, rain, rain, rain, SUN! Amazing how random it is. How is a girl suppose to learn to garden with this messy minded weather!
I planted some bulbs last fall and they popped up just splendidly! They are cute and little...pretty much like most of the things I grow. One day I'll get some mighty plants from the seeds I sow. But for now these tulips, hyancinths, and irises are just fine with me:
They are so cute! But...Hyancinths don't last long...I'll keep that in mind.
I think tulips make spring great...I wish they stuck around longer too.
The irises are Amazing with an obvious capital A! They blew up this spring. Last year they got ripped out by a mysterious iris murderer and just look at their come back! And as you can see...the Pansy is still flourishing like never before.
I have an apprentice this year. We auctioned off services in an acitivity we did for church and my service was gardening lessons. Well a nice young man by the name of Rick purchased my service with his cans of food and we had our first lesson last week (between thunder showers). We tilled up the ground with some left over leaves and grass clippings, then planted potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots! I hear you are suppose to rotate crops...so I did completely different things this time. I'm hoping they turn out good, because I can't look bad in front of my pupil!
Good luck to you and your season starts!
