A Walk thru the Garden....

Since I haven't had a garden blog in some while, at least a couple of weeks....I decided to post one....be aware this is photo heavy.....

the above pic is one of the climbing roses....

                                                                 row of leaf lettuce

            first time growing Swiss chard, now to find some recipes to use this in

                                              first time growing broccoli as well

                       

 

just a few more pepper plants...about 4 of these are jalapenos

 

 

my bean plants.

 

Wasn't gonna grow any beans this year until the youngest decided I need to need to...she loves to go out in the garden and just eat them off the bush/vine....

 

have started another afghan ...will post pic soon.

new pet, irises are blooming....others

This is Beauty , our new rabbit, black beauty is her name, just got her yesterday....I know I should have waited to breed her, but couldn't find anything on how long you need to wait when you first get a doe rabbit, So I bred her to Moe, lionhead buck who has Siamese coloring.

Here is my youngest daughters baby bunnies, they are approximately about 3 weeks old...Daddy was Moe, thinking about keeping one of the calicos...she had a total of 7 , we lost one this past week, it was so tiny.....

Some of the baby chicks that I am keeping back as of right now, might rehome a few once they are grown or put in the freezer depending on what they are.....there is Columbian bantam cochins, and some out of my Blue/Splash bantam cochin pen, a couple of EE for my youngest and a few egg layers in there as well....and two buff bantam cochins.
I have turned the heat lamp off during these very warm days, some are almost feathered out and ready to move them out of where I got them at , as soon as a pen is build, never ending project here, lol

                                        Here is one of the Columbian bantam cochin chicks

                                                            Now on to the garden............

       one of my Blackberry  are blooming, I looked at the patch I usually go and pick at, and the farmer has either sprayed or mowed them down....so I will only be picking from the garden this year, I guess. The other blackberries in the garden that are big enough to bloom are beginning to bloom as well.

                              
                     One of the 3 tomato planters I have....decided to plant them in a pot this year
                                                                        so far

My irises are blooming and thinking about it here.....just love my irises....

Ahh Spring........

I am glad it is finally here.............

We have a few rounds of frost here....I am so glad it didn't get my lilac bush or the ones I transplant....it really don't have much of a smell....but it sure is in bloom and pretty

                                                         Frost didn't get the tulips either

My bed of radishes and onions....thanks to the chickens insisting on using it for a dust bath...the plants or rather seeds aren't in a line....

Soon I think we will have some wilted lettuce and onions with some radishes in it as well

Here is another view of the bed of radishes and onions.....you can see the radishes getting ready to pop out. I cant wait until radishes from the garden instead of those store bought

      I have planted a couple of strawberry plants this year so far...got to get the radishes out of the bed
                                                  so I can plant some more of them...

                           This is how I am planning on planting some tomato plants this year

                                    these haven't gotten their flowers planted in the pots yet....
                                                    The last pot is a washer tub

       Finally got something in the sink...its called an ice plant....My oldest said since it was a sink it needed a plate or two in it...so far I only have one plate in there...the saucer came from under the plants I bring in the house each winter...so I think that is where I will put them at ...when all the houseplants go outside...

 .
Sadly only one Hosta plant made it....yes .I do need to weed alittle here....

                       A look at the garden...seen a hummer so I put a feeder on the archway.

                             Just some of the babies I have kept back for now....mostly cochins.

                                             Mascara begging for a piece of old bread........
