Well it's been over a month since my last post, and I'm itching to get things updated.  As luck would have it, nearly every single weekend where I could get some significant work done has been filled with rain and busy life.  Thankfully, one of the best things about gardens is that they grow whether you're paying attention or not.

Daffodils have given way for Tulips and spring annuals.

Lilac trees are blooming.

Coneflowers

Apple blossoms are already starting to fall.

One of our blueberry bushes looks like it will fruit this year.

Potato plants pushing up through the mulch.

Garlic.

Shallots

Red storage onions

Brussel sprouts

Broccoli

Broccoli Raab.  Almost ready to eat.

Early season peas

One of my latest additions.  A fig tree on the patio.

Patio tomatoes.

Patio salad greens and herbs.
