Perennials in back

Strawberries
Raspberries
Blackberries
Pears
Leek
Blueberries
Mint and Leeks
Daylillies

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!!!!

Bored Gardeners

What do bored gardeners do in the winter?

Play with their kids christmas gifts.

And put the video on You Tube.

My Favorite Mail Ever

I look forward to getting my seed catalog all year. My four year old and I sit down and read through it together.

Last photos of Fall

I can't believe how Huge this purple (broccolli or cauliflower) got to be.
A gift someone leaves in the garden several times a week.
The carrots
Walking Onions
These were a huge surprise. They didn't flower in the spring but I left them alone and all of a sudden purple everywhere.

The color was amazing.

Lambs ear. Can be used as toilet paper.
The tomatoes are all done and out.
The berries and tomatillos are still hanging in there.

The herbs
Those wooden boxes will be used next spring for the potatoes. So I can build up the soil and then remove a box at a time to get to the harvest.

I got the boxes free from a street construction site. They were used to keep huge pipes together.

Love my english Lavendar and the Yarrow
