It's becoming a bit of a tradition of sorts to take pictures of the garden as it grows. Here in Colorado, however, that is S-L-O-W. Hopefully, you will all be pleasantly surprised when it all does grow, but it's going to be a little while yet. Some things are natural growers in Colorado and rhubarb is one of them!! Remember the plant in April? Well, I could actually make a pie already...in fact, I just may!
 |
| This rhubarb will be 3 X's this size by the end of summer....and that will be after MANY pies!! |
 |
| There's a few things coming up....some bleeding hearts, daffodils, tulips, some of my ground covers and siberian iris |
 |
| Spring also brings PREDATORS and we've recently had a LARGE heron come into the back yard who has eaten most of our fish, and there were 54 of them. Here, I tried to put my tomato stakes across the pond to discourage BIG BIRD |
 |
| My lilac bushes are beginning to get a few green things on them!! |
 |
| the poppies are slowly getting bigger and bigger |
 |
| aspen trees with daffodils beneath |
 |
| my peonies are beginning to sprout! |
 |
| lavender is not looking good.... |
 |
| this trellis will be covered with vines later....but now? |
 |
| I will be adding compost and new mulch here, too |
 |
| these will have yellow flowers soon |
 |
| right now there's just a bird in the pot....but soon, they'll be planted with herbs, tomatoes, and annuals |
 |
| come on poppy!! |
 |
| I always have to get a few new additions but it's been too cold to plant them. The weather is supposed to warm this week, so I'm hopeful these little ones will have a home soon |
 |
and no, it's not a real flower, but it's my granddaughter Alayna who is 6 carrying a plastic flower that I had attached to her mom's birthday gift yesterday....she decided the flower was for her! And yes, she's missing all of her front top teeth!
So, it's not much, but I'm excited and I have plenty to do inside this week......
Love you all!! |
