Finally some warmth!

Pea's are popping up, transplanted spinach is growing good and spinach planted in the garden is coming up, potatoes... they'll be a while coming up. Things got planted much later this year due to the awful Spring we've had! I've also got onions, some I planted this spring and then some "walking onions" that I grew last year and planted the bulbs from the top of them last fall. Those ones are getting pretty tall! There's also garlic that I planted last fall from what I grew last year, those are also getting nice and tall. I'll have to get some pictures up... if I can figure out how to get them into the blog! Everything is looking so pretty with the Rhodies finally blooming everywhere and my yellow daisy flowers in full bloom!

We're keeping an eye on tadpoles in our little pond. I saw a little green frog on the daylily next to the pond so maybe that's what these babies will be! The size of tadpoles range from still in egg stage although it looks like they could come out soon?, to fairly large. I've never observed the whole series of watching them get bigger in the egg (not sure that's what it's called) to actually developing into frogs. Pretty cool! Yesterday I saw a Western Tanger bird. They are so bright and pretty!

Here's to lots of weeding and planting this week! There's a little spot on Cleveland and Division that had some wonderful bargains because of "frost damage", getting to far along in the season to sale and too "floppy" looking. Pineapple Sage (yummy smell) and coreopsis and nice fuchsia starts and ornamental grass  for .25 a container! The fuchsia starts were in the 2" containers but everything else was 4" containers. That's a deal a budget strapped person that loves gardening can afford!!
