The first strawberry harvest of the year. Came from the 5 plants that a co-worker pawned off on me. And then they multiplied and are baring sweet bounty!

I don’t like roses but these still make me smile. And I almost have the black spot under control! Such high maintenance!

All of the herb bed plants are doing great but it seems like everything is purple. So I threw in some red verbena to mix things up a little.

More purple in the basket but there is a red verbena that came up from seed so the whole thing will be very striking soon.

I was so disappointed about my lewisia last year — I got them from a magazine cause they looked so cute and it said they were a hardy fast-growing border. They did squat. Was thrill today to see one finally bloomed!

I am sucker for gerber daisies and I got a killer deal on this one. The yellow and the purple are so cute!

Mom gave me this last year and it didn’t bloom, so I was really happy to see it do its thing. And it smells really nice. The rest of this bed is a mess but claradendren cheers everything up.
