It's been a long, cool spring, so we've been waiting for weather like this! Once May hit, it was full-speed ahead, with tilling, mulching, and planting waiting to fill our every weekend.
I always like to share some pictures of my garden's progress throughout the season, so here is the first batch of spring garden photos - these were taken last week, so they're already out of date - things grow so fast when it's up in the 50's at night!
 |
| My beloved spring bulbs - including new surprises like the white & apricot narcissus which were apparently planted everywhere in the front flower bed before we moved here! |
 |
| The gorgeous flower bed full of spring bulbs - the first lush and colorful sign of summer, which I look forward to all winter long! |
 |
| Another bulb picture, but I could not resist the beauty of this stripey tulip! |
 |
| Our future garden site! (Fencing in progress...) |
 |
| My mint - which I transplanted and brought with me from my old apartment; after a long cold winter, it is coming back strong! |
 |
| After losing some to frost :-( the remaining potatoes are growing like weeds! Seriously - they're bigger every day! This is our first hay-bale gardening experiment, and so far, so good.... |
 |
| Like the potatoes, the peas are visibly growing daily! I have a piece of wire fencing over them to protect them from the deer until the fencing project is complete, but will need to trellis them soon. |
 |
Although some of the strawberry blooms got clobbered by frost last week, they are growing strong, covered with buds and new flowers, and I am so excited for strawberries this year!
|
 |
| Tomato, pepper, eggplant, and celery seedlings - growing strong, and awaiting transplanting to their new summer home in a week or so! |
There you have it! The start of my garden on the new homestead....
Stay tuned as I update this blog (and our main blog at
