What’s Green Wednesday
Upstairs in our sunny window…
Cherry tomatoes replanted into large buckets:
…starting to form flowers!
Giant’s carrots in his mini garden are starting to pop up:
Outside, under the snow….
Strawberries are greener and bigger each time the snow melts:
Multiplier onions (not sure how to actually use these, but they look cool!):
Chives, hardy and thriving:
Oregano? Whatever it is, it make a lovely small round bush covered in purple flowers (and bees 🙂 )—I’m thinking of dividing it and using it as decoration in my front beds!
Rhubarb (I dug it out of the snow to take pictures):
Irises? New sprouts are starting to push up:
A silvery green foliage with with flowers that has stood up to much wear (like being a parking lot for our no longer second vehicle)
A hardy little scrappy looking bush that I cannot remember the name of…but it is one of the first plants to flower in the spring and brings me much joy:
Something I’ve decided is Yarrow (smells…medicinal), and will no longer be trying to eradicate from the front yard tree bed:
Hollyhock. Its actually on our neighbour’s side of the pines. After our trip to Beanie’s new home, I noticed they had lots of old hollyhocks with their old seed pods just waiting on the stalks. I grabbed a few handfuls and the boys and I scuffed them into the dirt along that border between our neighbours and the trees. I’m not sure what colours they’ll be, or if they’ll even grow…but anything would look prettier than bare pine bark and the stumpy branches on that side:
Downstairs…
Brassicas are getting bigger:
Peppers (behind the tomatoes):
My new roma sprouts getting true leaves. And their bigger transplanted brothers are behind them:
Pak Choi:
Calendula is sprouting:
And that asparagus:
Oh, and I also noticed some green/white buds on a piece of ginger I’d bought a long time ago. I think I’ll try planting it to see if I can get a cute house plant out of it:
