Spring Garden

It's been so long since I did a post on my garden, you all might be wondering if it's still there! 😂 Well, it very much is, and it's been keeping me quite busy this spring! I'll start with pictures from a few weeks ago, when the crocuses were in bloom...



This spring has been very early. Daffodils and hyacinths are already in bloom, and the tulips are looking like they will soon follow! I apologize for the poor quality of some of these pictures...my trusty old camera broke down last fall, and the new one, I am discovering, does not do a good job with flowers. 😂 





The greenhouse is quite full as well...


'Peppermint Sticks' Balsam...my favorite annual! 😊


Hollyhocks and dahlias...


The tomatoes are looking great! These are from seed I saved from some really large tomatoes our Amish friends gave us a couple years ago. I'm hoping they do as well for me as they did for them! I've also planted 'Black Krim' which is our favorite for fresh eating. 


This is called Garden Blackberry. It's not a true blackberry (obviously!) but is actually a nightshade! the berries must be completely ripe to be safe for eating. 


Petunias are ready to go out!! 


I hope your gardens are also growing well! 😊
