The growing season is long and varied here. Summer will soon be upon us, but spring has a few phases left to show off, still. The daffodils and violets out front have been replaced by spunky, new white blooms, and I can see more new perrenials poking their little heads out. Can't wait to find out what they are! Presenting a short tour of the "garden"; I use that term loosely, as only a few photos are really of the spring garden.
A load of newly hatched little spiders suddenly swarmed the sweet peas.
Pretty, new mystery blooms
Hello, Chickens!
Healthy eggs come from Happy Chickens:)
Spring garden left to right;
Spinach, Garlic, Kale, Arugula and leaf lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower
*I tried "lasagna gardening," (layering compost and cardboard to minimize weeds) but didn't let it sit long enough before planting. It does still help, though.
Kale, Wonder Food
*a farmer friend juices it and takes a shot every morning; loaded with vitamins!
Baby Berries!!! :D
Iris from Greg...sooooo close to blooming-can't wait!
~Sharing the view~
