Wow it seems like over night everything is in bloom. The strawberry plants have woken up from their long slumber and are flowering all over the place. When I say all over the place I mean it. Last year we had to put in new front steps and some of the strawberry plants got dug up in the construction and got accidentally transplanted into our front lawn. Well, we have had to step carefully so as not to crush our new strawberry patch. I wonder if they will actually produce berries this year or not. Only time will tell. We also have two hanging baskets of strawberries and they too are coming back to life as well.
We also have many different colours of tulips. So far deep purple, orange/yellow, red, pink and just plain orange. A bunch of them have jumped out of the planter and are now blooming in the grass. Does anyone know the best way to gently transplant them back into the planter without harming them? We also have some lilies coming up. So far just the leaves with no flowers. There is a kind of bug that only eats lilies and last year they ate the whole plant. So far....fingers crossed.....I don't see the bugs yet.
Then we have the lilac tree just ready to bloom. My husband and neighbour helped to shape it so now it's a little more tame. Before the tree was becoming one with the fence and getting far too tall. Let's just hope it will bloom and look beautiful.
And last but certainly not least we have our happy Hostas. Yes my friend the Hostas have started to peek out of the ground and come back to life. I can't wait to see how far they have spread this year.
Happy gardening my friends!!! Go out and get excited about growing your own vegetable garden and flowers. Why pay the high prices for organic produce when you can grow it yourself. If you plant a vegetable garden you can plant flowers in with the vegetables to ward off the bugs. No chemicals needed. Just water, great soil and some plant food. Miracle Grow is the product I recommend.
