One of the nicest things about having a garden is watching what pops out of the ground in spring or sometimes, at the end of winter. With Brantford's temperature in record highs last week, some of my spring bulbs literally just popped out!
Starting from the top, clockwise: Galanthus (snow drops), crocus spp.,daffodil, anemone, scillia.
This rhubarb was a baby plant given to me last year in the middle of a hot summer wave. Had it not been for all the rain we had, it would have been a struggle to keep it alive. Two days before this picture was taken, I couldn't even tell where I had planted it!
You must be able to tell me what these are: they are my asparagus! Granted they are only pencil thin, I dare not harvest them yet. I started them from seeds 3 years ago and they've been struggling in their present location- along the south-facing fence where the rain is minimal and the weeds are plentiful (the neighbors leave it on the wild side). Hopefully, next year will give me more shoots to munch.Sometimes, I wonder what it's like to be dormant all winter & burst into a new life in the spring!

Hi Mumeroo
Nice asparagus! That is all I have to say.

Kilian says: oh, wow, Grammie, those are fantastic pictures. Spring flowers are my favourite kind ever (well, the only kind I've ever seen). When do I get to eat them?
