Spring Beauty

Not technically a veggie garden post, but we cleaned up the backyard in order to plant our sunflowers. It was an amazing array of pink, purple, aubergine, chartreuse and green.

The lilac shrub bloomed for the first time this spring.

The alliums are starting to burst through.

The blossoming tulips.....

And the lovely shades of lime and forest green of the spirea, spurge, hostas and burning bush!

It was hard not take a moment to appreciate all the beauty around us!
