We have had some wonderful weather here lately and I have been taking advantage of it in the garden! Over the past couple of days I have been doing bits of weeding here and there. Always doing a little at a time helps me keep up on it over the growing season. My girl and I took advantage of the beautiful morning and spent some time enjoying the garden :)

She likes the Daffodils:

We also took some time to examine the dianthus buds:

Here are some more spring happenings I caught along the way:

Baby Peach Tree Planted last spring is flowering:

Viburnum is leafing out very nicely:

Clematis Armandii is starting to bloom:

Carolina Jasmine is doing its thing:

And last but not least...we have a surprise crop of kale growing from seeds that we planted last fall that never germinated due to the drought and total outdoor water ban. We have had so much rain lately that they decided to grow :) LOL
