Ms. Que BanhMy first 2026 #strawberry #flower has emerged. Lots of flowerbuds are getting ready to bloom. After the blooms, come some of my early, sweet, homegrown #strawberries đ
This is in a large garden bed in the side yard - there's thousands of strawberry plants in that bed đ
We love eating strawberries so we grow lots of them. I have 3 different varieties growing in our front, side & backyards & 2 strawberry planters on our back deck too.

I liked these #GarryOak #trees with lots of #daffodils - up on a grassy/mossy hill. Spotted/shot through a chainlink fence.

Our pluot fruit tree is in full blossom. There will be lots of fruit produced by this tree đ

My #DragonLilies are developing new foliage & new stalks have sprouted. They're also known as vampire lily & voodoo lily; in Greece, they're known as #drakondia. #DracunculusVulgaris helps with attracting more pollinators in cultivated gardens with it's unpleasant rotting meat smell, when it flowers.

Update on my longterm backyard soil remediation project & trying to replace lawn with alternative groundcover/edible & medicinal plants/wildflowers. This is part of the patch that I did cardboard/seaweed/leaf mulching on last year. It now has mixed #clovers & #DeadNettles & #chickweed. These will all attract more pollinators, when they flower too đđŠ
