I thought you might like a little tour of my early spring garden since the rain stopped last night and the sun is out this morning. Everything is a little damp from the rain still.
The tulips are all up and promising to give a colorful display very soon. This was my purple garden last year but I added a few new tulip colors so it will be a surprise when they bloom.
I honestly can't remember this flower from last year, but it is bursting with oranges and greens in the far corner of the garden.
There is an explosion of primroses under my other birdbath. These were transplanted from Amanda's garden box last year and they love this spot in the garden.
Ahhhh....this means it really is almost spring here in our neck of the woods. The grape hyacinths are blooming in all their purple glory. Now if I can just keep my boys from mowing them down along with the grass.
Little tiny flowers...can't remember the name of this one....are blooming if you keep your eyes focused for the pretty periwinkle color.
My daffodil patch is ever so close to blooming and since it is by my mailbox, I can see it every day as I collect the mail.
Everyone who reads my blog with any regularity knows that I have a "thing" for lavender. This year our plants promise to give us a beautiful show of color and fragrance. The hummingbirds have already spotted these blooms and in the early morning I have seen them out here sipping at the flowers.
I learned something this year quite by chance. I left my broccoli plants in the ground and in a few pots all winter and this is what happened....beautiful yellow flowers. The hummingbirds have been in these blooms as well. I think next year I will leave a whole bunch of broccoli plants in the ground because they make really pretty blooming plants.
I would call this a true *spring green*. The moss growing between the bricks in my little arbor is thick and soft.
We have a new development in the front yard. We noticed today that the Scrub jays are building another nest in our magnolia tree. They fly back and forth with little twigs....hundreds of times over the course of the day so far. They are very busy. If they succeed in building their nest, this will be the third year in a row in this particular tree.
Hope you enjoyed my little tour and if it is cold and you are having winter weather today, I hope it cheered you up.
