April 2021 - In my Garden

Wow, April folks.  



 A morning shot of my garden and it is about that time to say good-bye to my fall - winter garden. I had a blessed season and I have already started sowing my summer vegetables, flowers and herbs. 


But, lets recap with a few more photos before I take out and replenish the bed for summer.


The violets just sprouted on their own and they added color to my lettuce and kale bed. 

This bed had a mix of different types of lettuce, spinach,  carrots, cilantro, parsley and radishes.  



These photos show what I was able to harvest from fall through a few days ago.
Amazing and I think I may get one last haul of lettuce.
I 


Snow peas did pretty good. I like that the vines did not grow too tall and perfect for a small gardens.
Seeds from Seeds of Change, organic heirloom "dwarf grey sugar pea pod"


My dwarf meyer lemon tree.
 I am so happy the little tree is doing so well. I had it planted in a large container and not much of growth or flower production, (about 2 years). Now that it is planted in the ground it seems to love it new home. Look at all the blooms and lemons. 



 Now for some  flowers.

All kinds a beauty here.
I gathered this bouquet from the garden and along our parkway (a space along the street)
Cosmos, larkspurs, cornflowers, nigella, yarrow and sweet Williams




A patch that brings a smile to my face when I drive into my drive into my driveway or walking home from my walks.
The Spanish lavender was planted about 15 years ago, started from seed. 

LOVE-IN-A-MIST
Nigella
A beautiful, spectacular and interesting flower, in my opinion.
These were started from seed in the fall. Seeds came from Floret
This is their "Starry Night mix"





Not a tidy plant but I think it is worth a try.
I sown the seeds directly into the ground long one of my planters (North facing side of the house), there are a few plants here.










Snapdragon
"Sherbet Toned Chantilly mix
Seeds from Floret



First time growing this type of snapdragon flower.  Seeds were sown in the fall, September - October. 







Love the colors so far in my garden.   Thank you for visiting my blog.  

Take care and have a wonderful day.

May Garden Bursting with Color, Zone 10

A lot of photos to share, but I hope you will enjoy them.


 We start off with some beautiful visitors.  It is fun to watch them flutter around the my little garden patch.










 Last of the Tonda di Parigi, carrots.  I will sow more in late summer.  A favorite to grow.  Opie likes them too.  Seeds from Botanical Interests.



A container of Swiss Chard, nasturtiums and bush beans.  Lets see how this turns out. Love to experiment with containers.

Just a few bouquets to share.  Bright pink Yves Piaget and Sweet Surrender roses, larkspurs and marjoram.

 I do not have filler growing in my garden, so why not use herbs.  The Marjoram is doing great right now in my Zone 10 garden.
