Things start growing fast in March
You just have to take it all in. See God around you like your head is on fire.
Lavender pansy
With the mild spring, these pansies stayed looking great until May.
Spring is in the air…everywhere I look around.
Spring veggies that is…First round of planting is done: juliet tomato, sweet 100 tomato, yellow pear tomato, sungold tomato, early girl tomato, multipic squash, zucchini, trombone squash, bitter melon and peppers. More to come still…
While walking around checking on plants, snapped some pictures of real wildflowers that I did not plant. Some wildflower seeds I like to sow, like poppies and lemon mint, but these are the real deal.
Pakistan Mulberry tree is starting to fruit. Love this tree and the fruit is so sweet.
Fanicks pear blooming
Seedlings are getting bigger. Need to work on my timing…Lost some fireworks gomphrena because Zinnias grew faster and shaded them out.
One of the hardest parts of gardening is cutting everything back in the spring. I used to do this manually with hand tools. Now I use a battery operated hedge trimmer made by Dewalt. I use it to cut back many plants including sage, salvia, mist flower, turks cap, lemon grass and bamboo muhley. Saves a lot of time, but still a lot of work. Here is the garden after the trimming and cleanup.
Bluebonnet and Lemon mint respectively
Here is what they look like after they sprout. Posting these pics so I can identify them in the future.
