First bulbs in full bloom
Give courage to plant more!
My crocus' are all bright and beautiful in my flower bed. Check one for the green thumb column!
As a result, and thanks to our herb garden planting night I decided to get a little more ambitious!
I have added some lavender plants and their heavenly smell, a pink baby's breath and some flowering moss to my flower beds. I really hope they do well, especially the lavender as I love the scent and look forward to drying the lavender.
I also decided to grow some veggies!
I dug out this bed along the sunny side of the house and planted peas and carrots and will plant beans, zucchini and squash. Yum!
Then I got the great idea for Strawberries! So I planted a strawberry pot!
I've never heard of doing this before but I was assured that it will work, so fingers crossed for some lovely red berries in June!
I really enjoyed being outside and doing all of this, especially with the lovely weather we are having! I didn't even mind the dirt under my nails or the hard work, or even the manure! (At least the sheep manure I bought didn't really smell...)
After all of the planting was done I sat and relaxed on my front porch enjoying the beautiful sunshine and peaceful surroundings. I even let Lily join me for a little, although she didn't seem to think it was the best idea...and Daisy wanted to come too!
