So mine is mainly just Mint, there is one Rhubarb there that struggles. Some Lillies too. Echinacea is not up yet.
The front 'dirt' is the Veggie garden that has seeds in it. Fencing over it to stop cats from getting in it :mad:

Very nice. Mine are a wreck. The landscaper hasn't started on the clean-up. I used to do my own but I am so allergic now I have to stop after an hour or so. So now I pay someone to dead head my roses, pull the weeds and spray for red-lily beetles. My avatar is one of my lilies.
 
Ohh I love Lilies ! Tiger Lilies are my Favorite. I just have the Orange ones that I grew from seed a few years ago and they keep coming back. Someone gave me the seeds and I was shocked that they grew lol
I hope you get to go out to sit by the garden soon
 
I had two black swallowtail butterflies that I overwintered emerge today! Plus a couple things that are flowering in my garden.

The garden is really starting to explode with color. I live in a condo so I have limited space but luckily I’m in an end unit so I have a nice area on the side. Here are some pics from today.

Raised Bed 1: Our lettuce has been amazing this year. Broccoli has been hit or miss - the squirrels were digging in there constantly till my husband starting, umm, harassing them. ;)

Raised Bed 2: The lone tomato plant is struggling with the inconsistent temps, but there are flowers so we do hope for fruit. The pepper plant is just starting to take off now that the weather has been hotter. The rest of the bed will be zucchini which should be planted in the next few days.

Side bed: the collards like this spot; shady most of the day, with a few hours of afternoon sun. I put collard greens in my smoothies, and use them them as wraps. They have a nice crunchiness and are milder in taste than a lot of uncooked greens.

On a totally different trip, mine looks more like a sculpture garden but attracts migrating birds who eat the fruits, pausing long enough for me to photo them.

I don't have a garden, exactly. Just a yard with a lot of flowering plants. It seems like there is always at least one thing blooming. Right now, it's this guy. I don't know the actual name, but we were taught to call it, "goose neck."

My husband's been busy this weekend and the yard is now set up for summer. In the second picture, you can see my herb garden, with lemon balm, oregano, thyme, tarragon, rosemary, and chives. When we moved in 10 years ago, that was a dirt garden used as a litter box by the neighbours' cats. Not any more; we filled the back half with pine cones and planted spreading herbs and the cats are no longer an issue.

I have that same stove in my living room, it is my winter heat source.

So cool! That was a gift from my husband's boss. It was all in pieces and I'm the one who figured out how it all went together. Usually when the grandkids are here, we'll have a fire in the stove and they'll be allowed to roast marshmallows.
 
Staying close to home this year, I have spent more time on growing my garden. I ate one ripe tomato so far (on a plant not pictured) that was a Sungold, and it was delicious! I am hoping all the rest start ripening soon. My potato plants are almost 3 feet tall currently, so hopefully they are also being as productive under the soil as they are above!
