Planet Natural

The past couple of days I’ve spent a lot of time outside.

 

The radishes are finally sprouting. I have several squares of them, in this and other planter boxes.

The broccoli seems to be doing well so far.

I’ll probably start harvesting (and EATING!) some lettuce leaves next week.

The sweet red onions are looking good.

No spinach sprouts yet, but I’m still hopeful…

Today I’m trying to get some flower planters ready to plant. It used to be that I was the one who loved the flowers, but now we both enjoy them.  We’re going to start with wave petunias, periwinkles, purslane, and impatiens. If we can get them planted, we’ll see if we need more.

My husband says that deep purple iris have become his favorite flower. They’re blooming in several places in the yard right now.

I really love this time of year!

  1. Nice pictures of your gardens, I was strolling outside in our backyard today. Our Daffodils are almost ready to come out and buds are starting to form on my shrubs. Its supposed to be 16C on Saturday, or 61F I’m looking forward to getting outside and doing some yardwork soon.

    • I’m glad you’re seeing signs of spring, Shawn. I hope Mother Nature will cast happy eyes on you soon and you can enjoy playing in the dirt. I’m going to try to get flower plants today. It’s a bit cool right now – 45 degrees F. – but it’s supposed to get to a wonderful 67 this afternoon. :0)
