At least the gardens are doing well with all the rain we've been having this spring. It's still unusually chilly for this time of year, so veggies aren't exactly exploding with growth. Slow and steady is more like it.
My cucumbers are poking through, and I've planted bush beans in some flower boxes that my mom had on hand.
I found something new at a local greenhouse - a peanut plant! I didn't know these could be grown here in our cooler climate with short summers, but apparently people have great luck growing them in containers. So of course I'm going to try.
My perennials are doing well in pots and spare beds around the property. I lost a few over the winter, but I wasn't surprised given the indelicate way I tend to transplant. I was happy to discover the clematis I thought was a casualty was merely hiding under the Bachelor Button plant.
And while I was thrilled to find 3 small pitchers in my pot of Jack-in-the-Pulpit plants, I was a little sad that I seemingly missed my "queen" plant when I dug them up.
Oh, happy day! She has arrived, fashionably late.
Bonus - a moth that resembles a bird turd.
You're welcome.
