Garden Going Ons

Front yard. Tulips are in bloom

My surprise this morning is this bleeding heart. It died last year, but the roots must still be trying to survive.

Shrubs in the back of the house. This was just a big sand pit.
Herb garden. Lots of mint this year. I've worried too much about it taking over, but now I've decided that I like mint enough that I won't mind if it takes over. Besides, nothing seems to grow in this spot.

Vegetable garden: Broccoli, Romaine lettuce, chard, and spinach (at my neighbor's request)

I gave up on raspberries. Pulled them out. Put in three more rabbiteye blueberry bushes. Also put down some weed blocking fabric and mulch to cut down on watering and weeding. Even put down soaker hoses. I'm learning how to do things the right way rather than the quick way.


More back of the house changes. This is a hodge podge of iris's, day lilies, azaleas and a couple other random flowering plants. Many of the plants came from mom's garden in Washington.

Also (but not pictured until things get growing) the entire back of the fence is iris's. All from Aunt Margie's amazing iris collection in Washington.
