Janie - What a beautiful garden. Where do you live that you have such early blooms?

Here in B.C. its just daffodils, tulips and primroses. My apple trees are blossoming but I don't know if I'll have many apples because we've had so much rain. Lungwort is poking up in the wild places and the wallflowers are making a great show. I noticed that my miniature lilace have clusters of flower buds.

My vegetable are doing pretty good. Onions are up, mizuna, lettuce, peas and potatoes are all poking out of the ground. The grape leaves are slowly opening. Of course, we've already eaten chives, sorrel and the last of the winter kale.

My daughter says she likes my lawn better than any other. Most of the lawns around here are perfectly mown, bright green, grass. My grass is a little longer and is dotted with little english daisies, dandelions and a sweet little creeper with blue flowers (it looks like a type of babytears). I hate to mow it and destroy the flowers. Think I'll wait another week or two.
