CLEAN UP TIME!

Spent most of yesterday in the garden as I will today... The clean up will take a few weeks alone... How serene it is to be back outside working within Stella's walls... The mood it puts me in, so surreal... seems as heaven has come down to bless me yet once again... I was out there till about 8 PM... Slept 5 hours, may-be it's what I needed... Once again busting moves as I work... Music, a glass of wine and my garden... can't ask for much more...

Here is a photo of the Blackfoot I took on the third... can you believe how the snow is coming down? By mid day, it was mostly gone... That's Spring in Montana... one never knows what to expect... As Steve continues to say, Winters hardships are so worth it...
Purchased these Pansy's ... Didn't have them in the garden but a few minutes before a bee found them...
More of the seeds I purchased have arrived, 'Sidebells' Penstemon/California Poppy/Johnny Jump 'King Henry', these won't do anything till next season...The wait is always a good thing.../Love-In-A-Mist (Nigella) 'Chocolate Sundae' and 'Persian Jewels'/Cucumber 'Straight Eight' heirloom/Cucumber 'Lemon' Heirloom/ and the Sunflower 'Elf'... I am so excited... all other seedlings continue to do well...

So many things coming up... Sea Pink... here is one of the many Sea Pinks in bloom... Crown Imperial... Crown Imperial in bloom... Next year I will already have to thin them out, this is only the second season... I will have bulbs to share, Rhonda and Dee have already asked for a few... I didn't get the Yellow ones as I wanted, I do hope I remember to purchase some this Autumn... Squill is spreading like wild fire... here is some in bloom that the deer didn't get last season... Columbine everywhere... Many tulips up... Sticky Geranium, here is one in bloom and one on the web...

Everyone get out there and get those HANDS DIRTY... IT'S A GOOD THING!

Until next time Nothing but love Lina

So nice to see things coming to life again in the spring :)
I grew the California Poppy for tea last year and it's great for relaxing.
Can't wait to see Stella when she's in her glory again.
