The glorious spring of 2013

The garden is just growing rampant with the frequent rains and mild temperatures this spring. It can really give one a big head- I'm starting to believe I have green thumbs. 

A basket full of mixed greens for supper. 

The first nasturtium bloom. 

The Swiss chard is gorgeous. 

The ornamental flowering area is continuing to bloom. There has been a nice gradual bloom from each species. 

A delicate looking, but fairly hardy perennial, alyssum, planted last year, has finally bloomed. There is a range of lovely color, from pale yellow to pink to orange to a bright red.
