Tulips in the Garden




Some of my tulips have started to bloom!



On the heels of my daffodils,


my backyard tulips are just starting to open.


























Don't you just love spring?






Happy Gardening!

The Lazy Gardener Garden Tip ~ Container Planting




Have a small vegetable garden but would like to plant more?



Use huge pots to expand your garden!








I planted peas in this huge pot and put a tomato cage on top for them to climb.


Yeah, that pot is ugly, but it was free!


This is functional gardening...not pretty!






Just starting to sprout.







The plan is for the peas to climb this tomato cage.







When the peas are done in June, I'll plant potatoes in this pot.


Two crops in one pot!








Happy Gardening!

New in my Garden ~ Early April




Despite winter hanging around long past wanting it around,

spring is happening in my garden.



Yes, finally!








Daffodils in the front flower bed!







Tulips up in compost mulched beds.





Native daylilies and a lonely daff.








Peas just poking above the soil!







Lettuce and radishes need to be thinned soon.






Now all I need is a little rain and some warmth!






Happy Gardening!

Clean up in the Garden



Spring is the time to do a little garden clean up.






All of this came off of 2 butterfly bushes!






Better looking!






Much better looking with compost added for mulch!





Tools of the trade with beds waiting to be cleaned up.





The after: cleaned up, plants moved, compost mulched...much better!




Native daylilies needing to be spruced up.





Much better!




More clean up work will be done this weekend as it will be 70 degrees!


Woot!
