The lilac bushes are becoming filled with buds. The winter weather made a short comeback, but the plants seem to be bouncing back. Spring gardening tasks were pushed to the side because of the snow we experienced here in New England. Instead, I stayed indoors and decided to start some seeds! They have sprouted, and now I'm enjoying watching them grow stronger each day. It was relaxing to thumb through some botanical books, and it also took my mind off the bad weather. All of it melted relatively quickly, and now the better weather is coming back. The animals are doing great, and eggs are being laid. Overall, it’s starting to feel like spring has officially sprung. Come take a look at my photo a day challenge so far this month!

April 18, 2016 at 4:33 pmBeautiful photos! Your spirea bush intrigued me. I’d never heard of it before, so I googled it and it looks wonderful! That is definitely on my list for the garden. Our lilacs have burst into flower the last week or so and they’re just stunning.

May 1, 2016 at 6:56 pmThanks Dave! I look forward to it blooming in late spring! This variety has tiny, beautiful, little white flowers. Lots of different varieties, hoping to add more this year!

April 18, 2016 at 1:00 pmYour photos are beautiful and I really love that little seedling picture at the end. I so want to try this challenge starting January 1 (I take pics every day as it is but I want to do one for a full year).

April 17, 2016 at 7:24 pmYou’re photos are beautiful! I decided this year to give gardening a bit of a try. I’m a little too frightened to try seeds, but I am giving it a go with raspberries, blueberries, and kale. Kind of excited to see where this adventure leads. Maybe I’ll end up with some pretty pictures too!
Thefreckledrose
May 1, 2016 at 6:49 pmThanks Jean-Marie! Those are great plants to start out with 🙂 I grow all of those crops in my yard and I find them especially rewarding. Nothing like fresh berries in your own backyard. Feel free to share pictures with me. I’d love to see!

April 17, 2016 at 5:27 pmAs always, lovely photos. I totally relate with your last caption. Haha! I had horrible UNsuccess with my seeds this year. They all came up so well then just stopped and eventually died. I was heartbroken. I had a few survive and replanted a few others to see if it would work out the second time, but went to home depot yesterday and bought a few baby plants just to get SOMETHING going. Haha

May 1, 2016 at 6:48 pmThank Rachel! I’m sorry about your seeds. I’ve learned that is is definitely an art, and so many elements can go wrong. They aren’t very forgiving if something is off just a bit like water or light. Try not to let it discourage you or get you down for too long & don’t give up! Wishing you luck with your seconds batch of plants!
