Blooming Beauties

I love late spring when my roses and peonies bloom. We have a ton of shade in our yard so we don’t have that many flowers, mostly greenery. This time of year is the exception with big peonies and beautiful climbing roses.  My roses aren’t quite blooming yet so I’ll have to share those later.

Those who are loyal readers know I love me some ruffles and these peonies look like layers and layers of ruffles. 

The Lord’s handiwork is sheer perfection!

It has begun

The gardening season has finally really begun around here. We have planted 6 tomato plants, an orange pepper plant and some green beans that Josiah started at preschool. We’ve also planted some sugar snap peas, radish, onions, garlic, lettuce and carrots.

We got them all planted and watered in really well and then it rained for 5 days {of course}. Our backyard is a bit soppy now, but the garden has been well watered.
 


My little helper at work. He loves to help and I love having his help so we make a good team.

We still have another garden bed to make and get planted with herbs and veggies, but personally I can’t wait until it’s harvest time.

Is that rushing things a bit? Possibly I should slow down and enjoy the process more.
