Spring, YES!

Happy Spring in the Tetons! (and probably summer everywhere else) Spring is different every year - it arrives at different times, it's wetter or drier than others, plants from last year come back more beautiful than before or sometimes don't come back at all. 
It's always a fun surprise party to watch.

The west facing bed over the last few weeks:
    when things were first coming up,            the annual rock re-do,               a photo from this morning.

An ode to tulips! 
I mean really, does gardening get any more gratifying than this??




Some especially beautiful new additions - a birthday gift from my awesome neighbor Shannon, 
from my favorite tulip farm-Wooden Shoe Farm in Woodburn, Oregon.



And, what's going on in the garden right now:
  • Yesterday's plantings: salad greens, rainbow chard, and snap peas from seeds. Store-bought daisies, snapdragons, and tomatoes. 
  • Got the cold frames out of storage and husband did a few repairs.
  • Garlic is up and thriving!
  • New wildflower bed is rough looking but everything planted last year is thriving.
