The day's sun has been mostly under clouds so the spring flower shots I nabbed today are clasped shut. This has been the longest I've seen the spring blooms since they started abnormally early (a month ago at least) but lasted longer thanks to the abnormal freeze/thaw patterns. Too many garden shots for one post so we'll break it down by types- starting with good ol crocues!
They may appear scant in number but out of photograph there's some older patches of yellow crocuses really laying the clumps thick.

Went walking around the yard today after blessing the garden and rededicating the Guardians, just to see what was blooming.

The Yarrow's opening up nicely. About half of it's bloomed now, and ready to harvest. I should do that soon, because it's shading out the Chamomile something fierce and needs to be dealt with. I want to let the rest of it open up first if I can, though.
Also very happy to announce that my Passionflower vine did not die over Winter! True to its folk name (Maypop), it finally started popping up the last couple of days. I'm so incredibly happy about it I nearly started crying; after nearly a decade of fighting to get Passionflower seeds to germinate, I can't believe it!
Speaking of Vines: We were surprised to find some Honeysuckle creeping back in with the Trumpet Vine in the backyard this year; my Father in Law killed it off years ago during one of his very rare attempts to kill the Trumpet Vine, and now a very small strand seems to be coming back. It smells fantastic, as usual.

The Woodland Flowering Tobacco that I planted earlier in the week is already sprouting. I forgot what a quick grower it is once you spread the seed. It'll need to be severely thinned out, but that's just kind of how it goes when you're working with seeds you basically need a microscope to even see in the first place.
My Mother in Laws' Peonies started blooming this week, too- whereas mine seems to have stalled out and the buds are turning black now. They took a beating from the storm last night, but they're still beautiful.
And the Apple Trees (both, this year!) are already starting to produce Apples; I didn't thin the flowers this year like I did last year. I just didn't have the time while I was taking care of her. So I'll have to thin the fruit as the year progresses. But it's still nice to see them producing after we didn't get a crop last year.

My new French Marigolds are blooming already, too. They seem to be liking the new Concrete Bunny + Basket planter I bought at the Flea Market; I picked up a color mix this year instead of the plain ones I got last year and Lord is that Red one pretty!
I also made a little snail friend today! He was cute. He didn't appreciate me moving the pot to get a better look at him, though.

New project in the works ! I was making a spreadsheet of when various fruits, veggies, and herbs are in season in my region and while filling it in I realised it looked like a cross stitch pattern. So you'd better believe I'm cross stitching that bad boy 😎🧵

Spent multiple hours today raking several years worth of larch needles and piling them into the blueberry bed for water retention, soil enrichment, and acidification. Got a good 10 inches deep of fluffy mulching.
I'll be doing even more a bit later in the year, to mulch all the grape vines for free, but this was more urgent so we could get these flammables up off the ground before hosting a bonfire for the neighborhood kindergardeners.
I am going to be SO SORE tomorrow, so I sure hope these blueberries appreciate it.

Planting out the autumn garden plot! I'm succession planting so I've planted out about a third of the plot. So far we've got thyme, primulas and seaside daisies for the border (as well as volunteer dill), and in the middle is bok choy, beetroot, cabbage, and silverbeet! Can't wait to see how they grow throughout the season 🥰

The ZZ plant was well overdue for a repot so decided I'd do it before tree pruning today. Shouldn't take that long right?
Oh darling
Tumblr media
How greatly I underestimated what I was getting myself into. It took me several hours to untangle and tickle apart the roots from themselves before I could even think of repotting. I wish I took a photo after I got the roots free but I got interrupted during the repotting process due to having to help with a lamb and ended up forgetting.
The rootballs were so huge that I decided to instead divide apart some of the tubers where I could and repot them into several pots instead of a single giant pot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
one chunk of tuber got separated from the greenery but still had an eye so I threw it into a tiny pot to see what happens as well.
Tumblr media
Two okay-ish stems got broken off accidentally so I decided to throw them in water to try rooting more up- not that I need more ZZ plants when one specimen has already become 3
Tumblr media
While tree pruning outside is taking main priority I've been wanting to work on cleaning repotting up more of the houseplants so may try to juggle a little of each done each day. Will try to report for whichever houseplants get done next.

Visited the Vampires (Read: Got my yearly bloodwork done; it did not go smoothly this round despite having my usual Nurse. She overshot the vein and had to guide it back in. It hurt. I almost passed out. But I was laying down, so I didn't. Huzzah!). My Husband took us to one of our favorite Coffee places to get a Matcha Latte with Oat Milk as a consolation prize afterwards (and I finally got to meet the Muslim lady working there). So it made up for it. Thank HaShem that's over until next year and I don't have any more blood work to do, though.
It looks like it's going to rain today, so I'm not sure how much I'll actually do gardening wise. I'd like to at least get the rest of the pots cleaned out and get the Tobacco seeded for the Hummingbirds, however; at bare minimum, that's needed. It'd also be nice if we wound up finding their feeder, but at this point we may just have to ask my Father in Law if he has any ideas- or just buy a new one.

Me: haha! The goathead weeds keeping popping up, but I've done a good job keep them under control
Real goathead weeds: *finally start to grow in their actual season* (I've been pulling some kind of burr weed that looks really similar to goathead)
Me: oh...oh no *starts painfully pulling a gazillion goathead weeds by hand*
