May is an exciting month. The calendar is filling up. At least for me anyway.
Our redbud trees are blooming. I planted 24 gladiolus bulbs, 2 rosemary plants, and dug up and moved a few hostas to a new area that has a ton of shade.
I used my homemade jalapeno salt to flavor some scrambled eggs this time around. So good! I believe it will be a daily staple in our pantry now.
May is the month we start planting the vegetables and fruits. We always wait until after Mother's Day (as a weather rule around here). However, one year, we planted the entire garden, and went on a weekend trip, only for a late frost to swoop in and kill most of our plants.
(new shoots coming up, planted two years ago)
The rhubarb is looking great, as well as our fall planted garlic. The asparagus continues to provide (woohoo to that). The herb garden is looking grand, and it will need cleaned up this month. I'm looking forward to outdoor time once again.

Yum on the jalapeño salt. That sounds so good - I also like garlic salt on my scrambled eggs. We put in a couple tomato plants, a pumpkin start plant - all freebies from church.
I would love to have fresh asparagus. I am afraid my backyard groundhog would love it also.
Debby@ My Shasta Home, we love garlic too. That's great you got some free plants. Wow. What a blessing.
Anne in the kitchen, we fence ours, but have to put solar motion alarms around it for the deer too.
Asparagus looks so good! And your blooms on the tree too!
Far Side of Fifty, thank you.
