Odds n' Ends

Thanks for stopping back!

Today was a little breezy, but, all-in-all, a pretty day with lots of sunshine.  Remember the picture (March 29) of the little red peony sprouts just breaking out of the ground?

Well, here they are three weeks later, just about two feet tall in spite of the cool wet weather! 

And there's the chives that seemed to be the only plant turning green as spring started.....

They have absolutely thrived in this weather!  I'll have to snip a few tomorrow morning and toss them in with some scrambled eggs.

The Oregano, marjoram and thyme are doing well, too.....

even though they got flooded in heavy rain earlier in the week.  And you may recall that I had a picture of the raspberry runners a few weeks ago. 

Well, they've really taken off this past week. If anyone would like a few starter plants, let me know soon.  Otherwise, I'll be yanking them out next week before they take over!

And, finally, the strawberries in the main garden area have really taken off this week. The ones nearest the house are in full bloom now. These should begin to flower in the next week.

Today, we started a mixed row of green and wax beans and also transplanted the spinach plants in peat pots into the main garden. They're considerably smaller than those planted in March, so it will be a nice succession planting as spring moves along.

I hope all's well in your garden and hope to see you again soon!
