Spring Life
Upper deck of our yard, started hugelkulter from logs and twigs and composting leaves and kitchen waste, this year we retrieved rich organic soil from the bottom of one of the piles and started a third bin using HT (heat treated) pallets.
Side view of rocky backyard slope, fenced in area, mulched last spring over fallen leaves.
Comfrey a standing favorite, gets an early start.
Blackberries, goumi, goji, and so much more budding out and ready to bloom. Honeyberry and quince and others blooming already. Exciting to see the new growth and changes day to day. Bonus fresh fruit.
Yellow violets one of the first flowers to emerge after heart shaped leaves unfold, in addition to purple ones.
Smiling faces invite you to the garden, hellebore transplanted from our kind, gardners’ yard up our street. One of the few plants the deer leave alone, thank goodness for those few plants they dislike. It’s toxic to mammals.
Potted some baby hellebores and put in our new five by five greenhouse, to get their true leaves before planting back in the ground.
Arugula grown from seed now flourishing in the ground outside.
German chamomile seedlings started earlier this year inside with grow lights--now in greenhouse -- divided into larger pots, stepped up, before planting in the ground.
Flat leaf parsley grown from seed, almost ready to plant outside.
Sea kale, Crambe maritima, perennial vegetable, looking forward to this plant addition. Started from seed in homemade newspaper pots.
