Coming back on its own!!!

Spring is the time when perennial garden shines. So much is growing, food, flowers, life, and I didn't have to lift a finger! Love it! This is what is coming up on its own in the front yard.

Chives and Hostas

Mint
This was one small plant last year.

English Lavender one of my favorite smells

Rosemary one of my other favorite smells.

Sage, parsley, and mystery plant.

Thyme is a great ground cover. The Lemon grass didn't come back.

I assumed it would. But it didn't.

These are either ground cherries, or tomatillo starts. I use them interchangably anyway lol.

Chives, strawberry, and Mum in containers.

Second year grapes. I'm soooo excited.

Yarrow

I also have a million wonderberry starts so if anyone wants one just let me know.

Walking onions I never picked last year

Lettuce all right here in one big bunch. So weird.

I let my lettuce go to seed last year and harvested thousands of seeds. The rest apparently went right here. I love it when Mother Nature does my job!

Lambs Ear

(of the huge bunch I replanted from my friends yard this is the only one that is really thriving)

I don't know what this is. Probably a weed but it is pretty.

I only have about a thousand of these little guys popping up everywhere. I will have no shortage of tomato plants this year.

Tarragon comes back and gets huge. I have six or seven of these guys around the yard.

The strawberries are coming!!!!

July 1st

Photo update on the front yarden.

Soon to be delicious grapes. This is the only set I will get this year, but next year I hope to have many many more!
This one strawberry plant is spreading like crazy. The runners are settling in and sending out their own runners. Great groundcover, and I will have lots of strawberries next year.

One of my friends said of my front yard "Its not like your growing corn out there." Um, well, ok. This is my attempt at a three sisters guild. Corn for the beans to climb up. Beans to fix nitrogen for the corn and squash. Squash as a ground cover for the corn and beans. Knee high by fourth of July, not these babies.

These are the experimental garden berries. Mine are very small but I think thats my fault due to a late transplant. I have had to berries off the Naranjilla (top left plant). None from the wonderberry yet.

My Golden Jubilee tomato. Can't wait.

My daughter running the maze. They do this everytime I open the front door. You couldn't convince me they had more fun when it was grass because they didn't.

Green is filling in. I cut back most of the lambs ear. I need more greenery though. Always more to do isn't there.
My 8yo is planning her own birthday party and want to include a garden scavenger hunt. (her idea I swear) Her friends will have to find tomatoes, corn, Stevia, and others. I was bursting with pride and delight!
