April has all but come and gone, and I have done nothing other than eat, sleep and breathe everything related to gardening. It’s a very critical period during my work season, and when I’m not tending to my clients’ gardens, I’m tending my own. It’s been well over a month since I’ve posted anything or visited any blogs for reading pleasure. No linky parties, no Google+ scrolling…….. nada. However, I managed to muster just enough energy to post four photos.
Here’s a new addition to my garden tchotchkes. This little guy drove all the way across the states from California. He used to live with my daughter. Now he lives with me. I hope his creepy little smirk scares the rabbits out of my vegetable garden.

Doronicum is in full bloom. A cheery little plant, no?

I’m not one for cooking, let alone making leek soup. But, I sure do love growing leeks for their pom-pom-ish flowers. I should have a nice crop by June.

And, last but not least, these hostas are ones that my mom planted before I was born. They’re not exactly what I’d seek out to purchase; it’s their sentimental value that permits them in my garden.

Now it’s time for bed, and for dreaming about weeding, planting and pruning.
Nighty-night.
