Starting in the front garden...a few Ferns have come up...
My front garden faces East, so does not get a lot of sunshine...
Only 'til about mid-day...
It is a wonder anything grows at all...
the Solomon Seal are tall and plentiful...
These are the true genus, and are truly spectacular when in bloom...
My front door Easter planter is still in full swing...
The cooler temps have kept the tulips and daffodils from blooming too quickly...
Will soon be time to transplant into the garden for next year...
Climbing Hydrangea is gorgeous...
Perhaps a few blooms this year...
Going into its 4th year...no blooms as yet...
Below that...
My Muscari is not open as yet...but hopeful!
Now...to the backyard....much more going on out back here...
These Jolly-jump-ups are so cute...kinda spotted almost...
Purple and white...next to Jenny...creepin' along!
My few trilliums took a beating in the last rainfall...
Looking a wee bit dirty...
But...
Still gorgeous!
The Bamboo is coming out like gangbusters...
Will probably dig up a few, where not wanted...
They can become quite invasive...
But...
Given the right spot...
They are perfect!
Right below is the Rose Campion...
A beautiful flowering plant, with luscious velvety silver leaves...
I really like this plant ♥️
Lungwort with pink and blue flowers...
So shortlived...
But...
SO pretty and delicate...
More of my favorite wee jolly-jump-ups...
And..so fragrant!
Three Peony bushes up...
This one complete with ants!
I have a White...Deep Pink and a Pale Pink...
All from my Mom's garden...
I think if I ever move...
They will have to come with me...or...move to my daughter's garden ♥️
Another of my amazing Kalanchoes...
This one from Thanksgiving...flowering again...
Now she is outside...where she will flourish...
Will chronicle her over the summer months...
Hope you are all having a great day...
Pouring rain here...could be worse...
Tornadoes near where Betsy lives...she is AOK!!!
Lots of flooding everywhere...
Hope it lets up for our long weekend...
Lots to do at the cottage...
~~~~~~~~~~~
We have Miss V for dinner and a sleepover!!!
We have coloured, counted, played music, danced, read, clapped...
Pretended to sleep and snore....played farmer in the dell...
Me Tired!!!! and grampa too!!!
On the menu tonight....
Buttermilk soaked and rolled in delicate panko crumbs...
Boneless chicken breasts....
Roasted to a crispy crunchy deliciousness...
Roasted crispy taters...
Fresh brocolli and fresh yellow beans...
Hope Miss V likes it!!
She already had a big piece of the...
banana/blackberry/strawberry spice cake ♥️♥️
A nice bath...a bit of bubble guppies and off to bed...fingers crossed!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your day....
Cheers! :o)
