My 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 🍓
This is in a large garden bed in the side yard - there's thousands of strawberry plants in that bed 😃
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.

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.

Every Summer, this deep pink rugosa rose tree delights my eyes & nose. Pretty roses with a lovely, perfurmey scent. It is bursting with blooms now 😍

Transplanted some of my #BokChoy & purple #tomatillo plants into larger pots. These starters are all being picked up this weekend by a few of my regular plant buyers here. There's some folks who get plants from me, every year 👩‍🌾

Backyard remediation project update.
3rd batch of snowpeas sowed are producing peas. Cucumbers are still coming out. Cherry tomatoes are nearing end of fruiting. More compost, lawn cuttings, leaf mulch & topsoil added to cardboard sheets. The sheets are breaking down slowly now.
