General update – More seedlings!

Spring is finally coming, though I wouldn’t call it consistently warm outside. I had a visitor in the garden the other day, this lovely little ladybug. Hopefully it will eat the disgusting spittlebugs that have made a home in my herb pot!

In any case, lots has been happening in the garden!

 

 

There are buckwheat seedlings in the foreground. I think I mistook an errant fall rye seedling left over from past years for buckwheat. That’s ok, fall rye is good for the garden too!

 

 

The Columbine just keeps growing and growing…

 

 

 

… And the Crocosmia too! I hope I’ll have flowers this year. Last year I must have planted them too late and only got foliage. See how these looked on the first day of spring.

 

The herb container is also doing well. The rosemary continues to flower, and the oregano and thyme are filling out.

 

The peas that are growing in the hanging basket are coming up, creating a circular pattern of tiny sprouts! Just how I sowed the seeds.

 

 

Last but not least, my first Little Marvel seedling!
