Here are some of the photos that I took this morning to journal how things are looking at the beginning of spring this year. I selected my favorites from a set of 38 photos. Click here<\/a> if you want to view the whole set as a slideshow.<\/p>\n

I love the look of these lavender colored vincas in the heavy shade under the oak trees just south of the house. I can see them from my office window even now as I type. They are so pretty.<\/p>\n

This white yarrow is about ready to bloom. I love the dainty, ferny fronds of the foliage of this type of yarrow. I hope the blooms are pleasing.<\/p>\n

We just sold all the remaining first crop of tomatoes, so I’m glad I got a shot of them this morning. It seems they are selling like hotcakes at Timpones Market.<\/p>\n

I am also glad that we got some of the first crop of tomatoes into our gardens as well. I have lots more heirloom varieties of tomatoes sprouting in the greenhouse. They should be ready for planting in three weeks.<\/p>\n

We have this plains bittersweet growing all over the upper (north) side of our land. It is very pretty. I think I will try transplanting some of it to my garden beds to see how well it takes to transplanting.<\/p>\n

The coral honeysuckle is just starting to bloom. These plants are now entering their fourth summer and I expect them to be glorious this year. I can see these plants from my office window as well.<\/p>\n

These columbines were originally seeded by bird droppings I suspect. That was six years ago, and they have spread all over the bed. They produce seeds prolifically, and I planted some of their seeds last year in another location, and they are blooming now also.<\/p>\n

This is the first year I have grown and planted calendulas (aka pot marigold). I am quite pleased by how well they weathered the entire winter (they were planted in Sept-Oct I think) without protection. They are being slightly bothered by whiteflies at the moment, but a little neem should take care of that problem.<\/p>\n
