Mulching it up.

I am doing a catch up here big time. I mulched these strawberries in November last year, as I love strawberries out of my own garden and summer was on it's way it was the best thing to do for these little beauties.

Rainbow

The view from the back door was simply stunning on this day.


Still ???

This bulb did flower and it was beautiful, however still non the wiser as to what it is called.

Snow

This was the view we had from our back porch on Tuesday morning. I've never seen so much snow on these mountains before. It was simply sunning. (Over looking our apple orchard)

???

I have no idea what this is, I'm looking forward to seeing what grows out of it though. Considering this is our second year in the house we are still seeing things for the first time. I love it! Does anyone know what this is?

Rhubarb

Our Rhubarb is growing brilliantly, but am wondering why it went to seed. I've never seen this before and it's so thick and chunky.


Apple Trees

The apple trees have started flowering, after last years dismal amount of apples we're hoping for a better season. I've still got many an apple pie to make and we're all looking forward to more apple juice.

Flowers inside

Hello everyone.

Yes it's been a while, however my garden has not stopped growing and I have been rewarded yet again with beautiful daffodils which I put in vases/bottles around the house. Here is just a couple of bunches.

Broadbeans

These were a surprise when they started growing furiously out of the garden. When they first started growing I wasn't entirely sure what they were and it wasn't until Marcus had run down to the veggie patch and picked and peeled the beans himself and we discovered these pink beans. Under the pink layer was the green layer. He had so much fun doing it all, I love the finger nail marks in the beans.

Corn

Corn was so easy to grow. I planted a row of corn and next year I know to plant 3 times as much. The taste of them was so sweet and juicy.
