I’m relieved to have signs of life in my new veggie garden. Now, my neighbors will see that the big pile of mud in my front yard has a beautiful purpose.

Radishes, lettuce, spinach, pole peas, tomatoes, strawberries all making progress.

I’m watching my stocks carefully for the first blooms. I’ve dreamed of having stocks in my garden since working in a floral shop one high school summer long ago. I love their old-fashioned look and dreamy aroma.

Petunias are blooming like crazy. They are so easy! I love the color they lend to the beds in the spring.

Wisteria started from seed this winter is looking strong. I have one lonely moonflower vine emerging. I soaked and planted approximately ten seeds!

Still enjoying spring blooms among the wild-flowers.
