How Does Your Garden Grow?


The Easter Bunny has been visiting this week.


Mama Cardinal has been sitting on her nest. If you look closely, you can see her. Look 1/3 of the way up, just past the center, and you'll see an orange dot. That's her beak. She leaves the nest a couple of times a day, but I haven't quite timed it so I can get a picture of the inside of the nest to see how many eggs she laid.


Thursday. Red sky in the morning. Sailor take warning. It's been raining on and off since.


The daffodils don't seem to mind the rain.


A crop of day lilies


Snowball bushes ready to avalanche


Buds on the Japanese maple


We've had so much rain, the ground can't support the rain gauge.


The forsythia bush popped this week.


Himself gave me a New Guinea Impatiens for Easter.

Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and Happy Sunday

How does your garden grow?

Your garden is doing well, spring is there at last. We need rain here, so now I need to go out and water my balcony garden. Happy Everything, Valerie

We have had much the same as you I think. Rain on and off all week long save for one day I believe. Today it is also supposed to rain - gee, something new for a change, eh? ; - P

Your daffodils look so pretty and your Easter gift from your hubby is beautiful! HAPPY EASTER TO YOU AND YOURS!

We've had so much rain. I'll send the rain to you. We won't need any for quite some time.

CJ Kennedy said...

Thank you, my Lady. And a Happy Ostara to you.

So many delights in your garden. The Easter Bunny knows you can't go wrong with garden flowers:)
Hope your Easter is wondrous.

It needs some dry days so we can get outside and do some clean up. The daffodils are the highlight right now

The Easter Bunny needs to leave more chocolate. =^,.^=

It looks like spring there :) It's good to see the daffodils, which are long gone here, and all the other seasonal delights. Cardinal nest joy! We have had young cardinals visiting our feeder, which tickles me no end :) Happy Easter!

The garden is getting there. Hope it dries out soon.

I haven’t been able to get a peek inside the nest to see eggs or young. Birder sites say it only takes about 2 weeks before the little birds are kicked out of the nest. Mama will fly off to another site to build another nest. She won’t use this one.
