How Does Our Garden Grow?

It seems that my blogger problems have resolved themselves and I can show you some photos from our growing garden. This is such a magical time to me. Once it starts getting warmer here, everything seems to explode.

Our new clematis is looking happy by the mailbox post,

the hydrangeas are ready to show their full blue beauty,
the jasmine is filled with flower buds and almost set to enchant us with its sweet scent,
and the pomegranate is starting to show deep red blooms everywhere. I cannot wait for those papery beauties to unfold.
In our kitchen garden blueberries are getting bigger,
many tomatoes are starting to grow,
and perfect little eggplants are in the making.
Our chives are going strong, as are the few ramps (wild leek) we planted this year,
basil is already growing in abundance,
and healthy bushes of lemon balm are inviting us to pick a few leaves to savor their intoxicating smell (makes wonderful iced tea).
Our cilantro is so tasty,
as is the flat-leafed Italian parsley.
Salad anyone?
Tomorrow, I should have more art to show you. We've had so much going on these last few days that I haven't had much studio time, but I hope to make up for that today.

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday!
