This last weekend the sun came out and I followed it to my garden! I planted my dahlias, weeded, watered the sweet peas, and supervised the final replanting of the Irish Yew hedge in back. The most rewarding task was admiring the beauty of the spring blooms and green growth. With the spring rains and a few days of sunshine, the garden is lush and the forget-me-nots are in full blossom.

These delightful billows of tiny blue blooms line my driveway. Every year they volunteer here and all over my yard. Planted by the birds or the breeze, the forget-me-nots have multiplied over the years and are an integral part of my spring gardens.

When the blossoms die down in a couple of weeks and the plants have produced some seeds, I’ll pull all of them and replace them with annuals. By fall there will be a scattering of small starts that will mature and bloom next spring. The garden just continues to give and I am the happy recipient!
