april in the garden

 hard to believe but spring is here!  the herb garden was given a new fence this spring thanks to kent.  the split rail fence comes to us from the hermitage property and we couldn't be happier with it!  a big round of applause to kent for coming out and installing it for us!!!

 and boy has kent been busy-he even replaced all of the rotted wood on our work table, we are so lucky to have him out in the garden!

 one of my favorite flowers of spring, epimidium, also called bishop's hat.

 another lovely shade plant, lamium in bloom

 the cold winter was good for something-daffodils!  they were spectacular this season.

 love these tiny blooms around the gazebo

 and of course, spring means new plants sprouting.  we have seeded the keyhole garden with all of the appropriate leaves and roots.  looking forward to munching on this arugula!

 yarrow setting blooms

 isn't the bloody dock beautiful when the sun shines through the leaves?

and of course, spring means columbines

come on out and join us in the garden as we get ready for the big urban gardening festival on may 17th.
