Spring around my garden...


I thought I'd show a few pictures from around my garden today.
The tulips and daffodils have been blooming for a while now,
and other plants are slowly coming to life.
It's been a really chilly Spring and things are a little behind.
But the Spring bloomers have also lasted a long time. 
 Here are some pansies that I put in about a month ago.



The pond is coming along nicely.  
It'll soon be time to put some plants in there.
The fish survived the winter.
I even found a few new ones in there.



I am now a member of the National Wildlife Federation.
My property is deemed a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
It says that I have provided food,  
water and shelter for the animals.
I am very proud of this honor.



The new project this year was to move the small gate from one corner of the fence to the other corner.  Quite a lot of work, but now I don't have to walk on the neighbor's property to get to my side garden.  It's not large enough to fit the wheelbarrow through,  but just to pass through to get the the main garden.  It is so much more convenient.



This is where the old gate was,  
so I had to fix that up,  too.
I really like the new arrangement.



Some of my "garden junk" that I've collected over the years.
This is in my backyard.


 I will be showing more as the season progresses.  

I have been growing seeds to plant in my gardens.

I hope to have an over abundance of flowers 

and vegetables this year.

I finished my quilt top and have put it away for now.  

I will hand quilt it in the Fall and Winter,

 when I am trapped in the house.  Lol

That's all for today.  

'Til next time,  

Love ya,  Jean
