Saliha, you are truly a Renaissance woman!

You are so talented in creating beautiful things - garden grown, knitted, baked - and your photographs of them all are lovely as well!

Thank you for sharing with us!

Hare was here:

But he left already.

 

[Johnny West]

Is the hare in the pot?

Unfortunately he just jumped away... But maybe at the next time...

After the long winter, the spring is here again and everything will start to grow...

Our herb bed is in full force and will get a photo today.

Here you go. I should cut chives for scrambled eggs.

I'm picking beautiful heads of broccoli.

Is there lovage in the left corner of your herb bed?

 

[Johnny West]

Yes there is. We brought the seeds back from Germany and the plants have come back every year since 93. I/ve dug up starters for friends and just dug some up for Matt to take back to Utah. We get lots of oregano to volunteer but use it infrequently. The back beds have the tomatoes and basil. The garlic never does well.

 

[Saliha]

I like lovage a lot, specially with the meat soups. I too started mine with the seeds and now after 4 years its like a huge bush.

After the rain new growth has started in the garden:

Narcissus:

Bergenia:

Lupin:

[Saliha]

The birches have got very light green, tiny leaves.

I love the colors of this time of the year.

 

[QSis]

I love the colors of this time of the year.

Me, too! The yellow-green color only lasts a short time, so I soak it in while I can!

It´s time of the wild flowers in the garden - lily-of-the-valley and forget-me-not:

 

[QSis]

What a pretty bouquet!

Your Forget-Me-Nots are a lot earlier than mine, Saliha! I love those flowers! Such a spectacular shade of blue!

[Johnny West]

I like them too, but around here forget me nots are almost like weeds.

I like them too, but around here forget me nots are almost like weeds.

Weeds they are here too, mostly.

It´s a time of apple tree´s flowers.

[QSis]

The photos of your flowers are lovely, Saliha!

I particularly like the composition of the first dandelion head against the background of evergreen. Dandelions are such a nuisance that I would never think of taking a photo of one - but I appreciated yours!

Day by day, more growing, more flowers.

Anise hyssop grows fast - very fast.

Chamomile from the last year germinated by itself and now I have it everywhere.

Flowers of chives.

Onions grow well too.

Lettuces in the frame - soon ready for the salads.

It´s a daisy time.
