Happy First Day of Spring!


Time is flying by!
Good thing I took the time to take a brief walk
through the garden this morning
 or I may have missed it! ;)

The Lilacs are starting to bloom :)



Lemon Balm has reseeded itself in various
places this year. Some just may make it
into my Etsy Shop when their a little bigger.

Cecil Brunner is about to explode with blooms.


Look who I found getting warm in the Sun,
 a HUGE Moth. A wonderful night time pollinator. 


Nectarine has lots of blooms this year, 
looking forward to some yummy fruit


Queens Tear blooming in foreground
and Forget-me-nots behind.

Ladder of watering cans,

with Lady Banks in bloom.

I usually keep the Oxalis under the bench,
well, not this year.  :/


My Pittosporum has sprouted a couple new plants!
Probably rooted branches prior to pruning.
Going to try to fit the larger on in the front garden,
 the smaller might make in into my shop. 

Succulents are even blooming!

Weeping Peach too. :)

White Alyssum has reseeded in the calf buckets, yay!

Cherry in full blooming majesty




I planted Strawberries in the wheel barrow
with lettuce in between them.


The messy deck still needs to be cleaned up from Winter.

Feeding time :)


A baby from my Sister's Koi,
not much of a baby any more!


One of the little guys T, M & C 
got me last year for my birthday.

The only original I have left
after the Raccoon raids.

There's more hiding, not as friendly as my originals,
but after what they've been through
can't blame them for staying in the shadows.


 So now go out and....

  3. Lovely pictures! Your garden looks so cozy and welcoming. Winter is hanging on here. Last week I thought spring was finally about to begin - sunny and warm. So I bought some pansies and had coffee on our balcony. Today it is chilly, grey and *ugh* Thank you for brightning up my day with all the beautiful plants!

  7. I love spring and it is so nice that it is here... you have much more growth than we do... we are getting some crocus and daffodils and a few other flowers and the grass is greening up, the tree buds are opening, but you have a lot of growth and must be in a different zone. :) It is a fun time.

  10. Wow! Yes, good thing you walked through your garden. Nothing blooming here yet. Not even our crocus. Hopefully soon! We have lemon balm everywhere, too! They have a tendency to just take over our front. Happy Spring!

  11. Beautiful! I love Spring. It's my favorite season. You are a bit ahead of us. My Lilacs are just now getting tiny buds. I stroll the garden daily to see what new delights have sprung forth. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,

  12. I cant wait to see if my fish have survived winter. I saw two of the four when I still had the pond covered with chicken wire. I removed it to get the leaves off and have not seen any fish since. Time to clean it all out.........your pond is so beautiful.......Janice
