Garlic just starting to emerge from my community garden plot in #yyc. Every spring I think to myself, why didn't I plant even more? #prairiegardening #prairiegardeningbooks
Gotta love hepatica! I wish I could say these are in my garden, but they're not - they're actually in the Reader Rock Garden. #yyc #prairiegardening
The larch trees are putting on their spring show! #yyc #prairiegardening
New acquisition! Tillandsia capitata. Love the peach blush on the velvety leaves.
Some of my baby Salpiglossis plants under lights...if you've never grown these before, try to find some transplants at your local g.c. this year. Tropical appeal on the prairies! #yyc #prairiegardening #prairiegardeningbooks #spring #springiscoming
Took a walk up on Cranston Ridge this afternoon. Always love to see these fuzzy little beauties! #yyc #spring #springisintheair https://floweryprose.com/2021/04/02/happy-spring/
