Around the garden

Half of my garden is wild. It's an easy choice, as it is almost pure bluebell. Memory permitting, I will take a picture this morning as they are almost all in full bloom.

I love the view! The woods look similar to those locally here. There are bluebells around but the main thing I noticed today is that the wild garlic is coming on well.

Cherry, i love it that you have woods right behind your property.  Besides a nice place to go it affords a little needed privacy.

This looks very nice Cherry,  how big is the lot size?

That's gorgeous, Cherry!

When I was growing up, we had a woods opposite our house: myself, my brother and Jack loved wandering in the woods. I also went wandering around woods in Sweden with our grandfather. Those Swedish woods are amazing: and vast. I loved walking through the trees and along woodland paths. There is such nostalgia.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be back in those days? Those special memories can never be deleted, though. And I shall always remember.

No, it's teeny in comparison to a few acres. The woods are a good few acres, I don't know how many, but it is a twenty minute walk around the circumference. If you look again at the picture, you can see our fence.

I don't even have 1 acre ;p We're more than half of one, though.

Half is over 20K sft, that's a lot, to me.

I have a large lot for Florida at about half an acre. I used to have 2 in New hamphire so this is smaller. I'm just glad that I have conservation land behind me.

It seems the weather has decided to warm up a bit finally so my peppers are now out in the greenhouse and growing Ok. They will need repotting at some point. That left room for me to plant some more seeds, germinating them in the house for warmth - Aubergines, courgettes and cucumbers. I am a bit late with these this year I think but they should catch up. One of my tomatillos is showing buds and a flower so not too long now

Trying to decide about lilacs.

Not many reblooming types that can be here, so I'm going to pick one of those I think.

Haha, they are equally hardy and pretty ;p  One gets slightly larger. I am now leaning toward the dark purple one after googling more images of it. The pics that I shared in that link above make it look more pink, but it actually is a really nice purple color that I don't have in my garden yet.

Andrea has tried to set up our garden, so we have something flowering all 365 days. That's quite a challenge given our climate.
