This is our first picking of strawberries. The strawberry trug is located behind the shed where it gets plenty of sunshine. This is an everbearing variety called "Tribute".

Early Bloomers
Our spring weather has been so beautiful this year that we have early bloomers in the garden. The apple tree, given to me by my dad as a sappling 35 years ago, is full of blossoms. The little grape vine area next to the shed has been trimmed and is budding.

We've found that the secret to a large crop of rhubarb is adding plenty of composted manure in the spring! This planting has been in the garden for many years.

Forget Me Nots seed down each year, so we always have mounds of blue and pink flowers scattered throughout the garden in early spring.

The red azalea adds bold color to the garden and is surrounded with blue forget me nots and white azaleas behind it. Red, white and blue! Our patriotic area!
