We finally have great weather and our landscape is beginning to turn green. I'm loving the bright buds on the trees and the blooms that have started to shoot up from the soil. We stopped and bought a few plants to start my pots for the deck and the front veranda. A geranium, an ivy and another one I can't recall the name of. Hoping it all fills in nicely. Hoping to find the purple petunias that I love to plant in my green pots. Those fill the pot up and the colors together are amazing. Next we will dig up the veggie patch, add more dirt and compost, and then begin to fill it with seeds and plants. Hoping this year, we'll get a better crop. We're planning on growing beets, peas, carrots, onions and herbs. Maybe some potatoes that we tried last year that did come up. We did manage to get corn to grow but after about 2.5 feet, they stopped. That was at the height of the heat wave. Maybe we'll throw some seeds in this year and see if they sprout. More landscaping will happen too. Getting so close to being done. Then it's just maintaining it all.
If you're Canadian, wishing you a beautiful Victoria Day!
