In The Garden - March 24

Highs in the low 70s.  Gentle southerly breeze.  A few puffy clouds.  Aaaah.  Heaven.  And time to start planting.


Mike kindly installed the fence posts for me yesterday.  After soaking the seeds all night, I planted the 'Super Sugar' snap pea seeds in rows between the posts.  I've learned from hard experience that if I don't tie up a trellis for them on the day that I plant the seeds, I don't get back to it fast enough and they get all wild and unruly.  Now, we wait for the crunchy yumminess to begin.

While I was out in the yard with the camera, I took a few photos of some of the other residents who've begun waking up...

'Ice Follies' daffodils

I love how these daffodils are all lined up like soldiers standing at attention.  I assure you that I didn't plant them that way.  I like to spread them randomly all over the bed.  These fellas had a different idea apparently.

'Ultima Morpho' pansy

These pansies are just so cool.  They start out all shades of purple and change as they flowers age to shades of pale yellow.
