Mama [L] came to spend another couple days with us, and helped me work on the garden. Did we have a mess on our hands. While our veggies and herbs are growing along wonderfully, most of the perennials that were here when we moved in have decided to take over the yard. Lilies, Hostas, Daisies, Hens & Chicks had to be moved, split, and thinned. We also discovered a terrible thorny weed that had tried to take over our raspberry plants - it looked exactly like the plant, so it was hard to spot. However, our garden is looking great, and it appears we will have a bountiful harvest of raspberries this summer. Here are some garden shots:
Chives: I've never had my chives flower so early [maybe it is due to the lack of rain we had and wanted to give off seeds?] but it sure made a pretty picture.
We have so many out of control Hosta plants. I started a garden journal to mark which ones to split next spring and where to move them.
I went crazy with Basil this year - 8 plants. I'm looking forward to lots and lots of pesto. And maybe I'll finally attempt making basil ice cream.
Miss [W] is *patiently* waiting for me to stop taking pictures so she can get into the kiddie pool.
Our raspberry bushes with little fruits appearing.
Daisies popping up! Our neighbor had these sprout in the middle of his yard.
