Spring in our yard in 3 pictures...

[NRaleighLiberal]

Top-most blossom cluster of our cherry tree, an heirloom lilac that grew at my grandfather's house over 100 years ago (my dad rooted a cutting for me), and the forsythia and spirea in our woods.

Then there is the yellow green pine pollen and the romeo birds preening in our car side mirrors and pooping all over it...didn't show those, but they are spring as well!

1. My dear NRaleighLiberal!

These are beautiful! I can imagine that the lilac smells wonderful. The flowers on your cherry tree and in the woods are so glorious...

And I know you are more than ready for all this color, after the winter you had...

Enjoy!

3. so pretty

I would like to see your pots of tomatoes on the driveway. Do you have them out there yet? Are there little plants coming up in them?

4. Lilac...my favorite.

I had one in my yard growing up and the scent always reminds me of my dearly departed grandma.

5. So beautiful!

I am busy reformatting the backyard. It's very small, but I have 4 small plant beds that have herbs and flowers. We also grow hops onto a trellis back there.

We have a small garden in the front yard that has peppers, Bok Choy, red cabbage and next week the tomatoes go in. I have a cucumber mound that grows up the support wire to the telephone pole.

Thing year I am planning on growing indeterminate cherry tomatoes (if I can find them) and hang them from the trellis.

It's a very small amount of space but I maximize what we can do.

… and the plus side is that since the garden beds face the sidewalk, our neighbors get to have some tomato treats!
