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.
The garden plans are up in the air to be honest, but some things are slowly progressing. My husband had one day off work (had an appt), and of course it rained. It was the only day we had together to till the garden(s). Go figure.
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.
