What's happening in my garden?

Well, in a word, planting.

I went to two plant sales a few weeks ago. One was the Alderwood Garden Club's sale and the other was at Lynnwood High School (part of their horticulture program). I love getting plants for 99 cents and $1.99 each!

My youngest son has joined me in the garden. He helped me plant potatoes.
Vegetables planted in my raised bed (made by my father in law)
- sugar snap peas
- carrots

Flower seeds planted:
- sweet peas
- snapdragons
- zinnias
- cosmos
- sunflowers

What's blooming? Its mainly tulips right now.
These tulips (mixed with the white ones) are almost black in colour:

I created my own window box. I found inspiration here. Mine contains ivy, bacopa, petunia and a white geranium. Can you guess the theme?

I love my succulent box:
I recommend succulents for any gardener even a beginner or someone with a "brown thumb." They hardly need any soil and are very easy to grow plus they don't require much maintenance. You can put them in just about any container.Pin It
