Spring Snapshots

Friday, April 24, 2015

Even though it has been snowing lightly on and off here for the past day or so and we've got the woodstove burning, Spring has arrived. We planted asparagus the other day - our first time doing this - I will write more about it soon. I consider it an investment in the future as it takes a few years before you can begin to harvest spears from the plants.

But I've also been dabbling a bit in non-edible plants and wanted to share a few shots I've taken at our place lately with you below. Hopefully, the cold snap is a brief one!

Hellebore flower in the shade garden - I love how these come up so early!

A sedum springing back to life - such wonderful plants - hearty and gorgeous and perfect for this rocky area in our backyard.

Silver mound wormwood. One of my favorite perennials. I love the silvery color, the shape and the way it catches sparkling drops of dew.

A selection of narcissus - my favorite of all the spring flowers and one of the few bulbs that squirrels and chipmunks have no interest in eating :) I plan to carpet bomb our property with more bulbs this fall.

What's the spring looking like at your place?
