It is difficult to know where to begin. The garden has changed dramatically these past few weeks. At the beginning of the month I was feeling a little disheartened at the lack of activity. Now the trees and shrubs are bursting with new growth. Finally the tulips, daffodils, violets and muscari are blooming. The increased buds and foliage has attracted both the birds and bees to the garden. I am always fascinated watching the humming birds feed and the finches coming down to the pond to drink.
The pond and rock garden area has taken on a life of its own. Masses of rockery plants are in bloom cascading over the rock wall. White arabis and yellow alyssum with a few pockets of mauve aubretia.
Meanwhile in Fintry Provincial Park there has been a transformation too. Shorts Creek continues to rise. New light green leaves appearing everywhere. 
Gardening wise this is the busiest time of the year for me. Not only am I trying to keep up with the outside gardens but I am also busy in the greenhouse. The seedlings are looking very healthy and it will just be a matter of time before I will be able to transfer the hanging baskets to outside.
Hanging Baskets will soon be moved outside
Life in the Greenhouse – zucchini, basil and cucumber seedlings. Herb pot includes salvia, oregano, chives, rosemary, thyme and cilantro,.
