So Many Seedlings!

Yesterday a neighbor brought me a bouquet of “May Flowers”. How sweet was that? She collects the flowers from a secret patch in the wild. 😉

The tulips we planted last fall in front of the fence, on the side of the house and in buckets are looking pretty good. What’s not looking good are all those glorious tulips that bloomed last spring. 

Apparently the varieties we planted weren’t hardy enough to last past the first season. I was in denial {maybe they’re just late this year?} but the HH dug up the soil and sure enough… No bulbs.

What a disappointment! I’m super bummed because I had HIGH hopes of selling boatloads of tulips on my garden cart this spring. 

I’ll have to do some research this summer to see what varieties are super hardy. The daffodils are back though.

We have so many seedlings right now. It’s bananas! I’m still bringing the lavender seedlings in at night.

But the chives are outside full time now. All 10 million of them.

Things are getting kind of crowded inside too. Every windowsill is filled with rhubarb. And I have {2} 8 foot benches with pepper and tomato seedlings on top of them.

The tomatoes and peppers won’t be planted outside until the end of May. So things are going to get really crazy here in a few weeks.

Rhubarb seedlings!

Peppers!

Tomatoes!

It has been less than a week since I planted the first round of Shasta daisy seeds and they’re already up! It’s hard to believe that in just 6 weeks it will be time to start planting beans and zucchini in the garden. 

Summer. It sure sneaks up on you. But you know what? I am ready! How about YOU? What are you growing in your garden right now? 

Anyone harvesting anything exciting yet? Curious minds want to know.
