We kept knocking down some small raised beds and recycled the soil to other beds. Meanwhile, I started transplanting young plants, too.

I also like doing so!! We still have several wild corners, can't wait to see some surprise.

When you want some flowers, just go out and get some <3

#24011 Tulips 'Red Dress' and 'Sarah Raven' 'Sarah Raven' 'Red Dress' (tall ones) - a bit spent after two weeks blossoming, but still pretty Feel so pleased~ Bee: I agree!

Did some mowing today and used a small part of the clipping as mulching for small areas I sowed directly. Seedlings are emerging, so a bit protection is welcome. I pricked out one tray of seedlings and wondered what else should I sow - bush beans, more leeks and scallions, large brassicas...

Thanks, Steve. For me, working in the garden is the moment I am always honest to myself. It's playful and delightful because none forces me - self-motivation is the best fuel. I'm grateful for having a garden (or a kind of tiny amusement park?) to work with - there are endless things to learn...

Finally, the temperature bounced back and the rain stopped. I did some mowing and edge cleaning, while DH set up a compost bin and a mobile chicken run. The grass clipping either became a thin layer of mulch or reported to the compost heaps, a circle of life.

Plants sitting on the window sill for germinating - it's very effective as the heater is underneath. I add some water on the bottom tray so the soil in the tiny seed tray won't dry out. Most of them will leave the tiny tray soon. It's still cold and wet outside, due to the rain, snow, frost...

Agree, the leaves also look much alike a peach tree. Yes, I already pot it on, and let's see how this 'volunteer' will do in this garden. :D

Every year, I want to try propagating something from the garden. I divided daylilies, sedums, Shasta daisies, and Asters last year, and they all settled down very well in the new spots. This year, I am working on the pink currant plants that I bought several years ago. I didn't give them...

#24010 Tulip 'Ballerina' - Flame in a Vase

Not the first time finding such plants with the shells nearby, do you think it is an almond plant?

Let's have a thread to chat about succession planting and what you will keep as spare or backup plants. This year, I started sowing from the end of January, but not too many for each crop, besides peas for shoots. I'm much more moderate in sowing lettuces as they are basically cut and come...

#24008 Lily-flowered tulips #24009 Mixed tulips There are more tulips to come.

Rain, a bit snow, frost, and strong wind will last for another three days. All potted plants are taking shelter under roof. It might take another week to get rid of low temperature at night. Thankfully, most warmth-loving plants were sown late and are still tiny; they can easily stay indoors.

The quail lived in this sickbay already went to the rainbow bridge a few weeks ago, and I buried her under the new honeyberry plant. I didn't want to touch this customized residence that I renovated for her not too long ago, but eventually, it deserves to be re-purposed. So, I removed the...

Potting seedlings on - The first batch of annual/biennial flowering plants I grew from seeds this year - Dahlias, Nasturtiums, Zinnias, Hoary stocks (Matthiola incana), Sweet Williams, Bachelor Buttons, Pansies, and Snapdragons. The celeries regrew from the base look very positive now. It's my...

Rain in the morning, so I stayed in the kitchen and enjoyed breakfast, music, and the garden magazine. The strawberry shortcake that I made yesterday This week, I took a small order and prepared three lunch boxes for DH's colleague. Kind of Asian fusion meals :D Everything is growing...

I believe it will work out, and you will enjoy both herbs and flowers very much. :D
