While the weather for the last week has been glorious,
a few black clouds are rolling in today, and there is a cool breeze coming off of the lake.
Gardening has begun, with pots of herbs nicely planted out
and moveable should they get not enough/too much sun.
Coriander, chives, leaf basil, creeping thyme, hot and spicy oregano.
I'll pick up a mature pot of rosemary at the garden centre,
(it's just is too slow growing here).
The hostas are almost up, and the hydrangea and sixteen candles are greening up nicely
In a couple of weeks the black-eyed susans will show their sunny heads
and the next dry day it will be white new guinea impatiens for the baskets on the fence.
Before you know it, the little garden will be all set for the summer!
Even with the changeable weather, it's such a lovely time of the year. You can almost see everything unfurling right in front of your eyes. My hostas are out too and delphiniums are just coming into bud.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Molly...secretly, I still love that cool bite in the air!
DeleteAs I sit here with winter approaching it is wonderful to see all your photos of new growth.
ReplyDeleteYou are going into the silent time of the year SH...such a beautiful time, when focus turns inward and nourishment is given to the soul.
DeleteI just love planting time. It is a time of hope and looking to the future.

ReplyDeleteThanks sweet-bear. I truly believe when we connect with nature, healing begins.
DeleteI just wish I knew what they all are. I'd like some of them here!
ReplyDeleteOh Cro! I would swap my little garden for Haddocks any day of the week!
DeleteLove gardening. It feeds my soul and lifts my spirits. I want to grow everything, so really have to control myself when I visit garden centers/plant nurseries. Your plants are lovely.
