This spring has been fun because we have 1) the plants that were here when we bought the house, 2) the plants we planted last year, and 3) the things we've planted so far this year. Every day we walk around the yard to see what's now blooming (and what the bunnies have eaten). Here are some of my favorite pics from the past couple weeks:
A spiderwort flower (shortly before the bunnies chewed it off)
Our friendly tulips that bloom in profusion
One of our many large jack-in-the-pulpits
A bloodroot flower (they bloom for only about 3 days, but they are gorgous)
Some Mayapple flowers. We do realize that these will take over our yard if we're not careful, but they're so cute!
Our giant rhubarb patch. It's one large regular rhubarb plant plus 4 small red rhubarb plants.
We added a berm to our back landscaping for some interest. We also planted a cherry tree, mock orange, dwarf highbush cranberry, some coreopsis, and an aster that has been chewed to almost nothing.
And finally, this is Adam building our new raised bed gardens. They are currently full of vegetables. We had a lettuce, spinach, and swiss chard salad with homemade french dressing and 2 pea pods tonight.
