We a getting more asparagus thankfully, but I need to (again) plant more this year. We are also getting rhubarb from the garden. Yum!
The lilac bush is blooming, and it smells wonderful when I am outside. You can even smell it clear on the front porch. I"m so glad the pine tree did not ruin the bush. It did some damage, but I think it's recovering. It just doesn't have as many blooms, but boy it smells divine.
Herbs in the herb garden. Just ignore the weeds for now. I hope to be back to that job sooner than later.
Green Onions
Sage
Thyme
Oregano
Chives
Lemon balm
Peppermint
My bleeding heart is blooming. Terrible photo. It was very windy when I took the photo.
I have so many volunteer chives just about in every crack and nook around the herb garden this year.
Yarrow
What is this? Wild garlic? Wild onion? They are growing up singular, and all over my flower beds this spring. I can't even tell from smelling the bulb, and cutting a bulb to smell. These are tall, but the bulb is small.
They do not look like green onions or chives, so I'm stumped.
Meanwhile.....
The rosebed with hostas from h-e-double hockey sticks. If I wanted to harvest clevers, this would be a great time for that ha ha ha! I see a mullein plant in there too. I see several days of weeding this one too. I don't think I could pay someone to weed for me ha ha!
I have a few spring perennials coming up, but have not bloomed yet too. It's not quite time to plant any annual flowers, herbs or plants/seeds in the vegetable garden just yet. I am pretty sure we are not planting any peas, considering I can't get out there to put up my pea fence right now.
