Oh Yeah, Spring!!!

Friday was such a lovely spring day. We got the garden fenced, and watched as the fruit trees began to come alive!

The dogs ran and the black flies burst forth, driving me crazy. Hubby claims that there are no bugs, but they just do not like him. Me, they love!

When we were putting the fence up for the garden, we had just Fritz and Greta outside. Greta has graduated to being a stay with you, kinda gal.

It was really hilarious to watch her, because we have this chipmunk that lives in our stone wall, and today he was really screeching at Greta as she sat there. She jumped up on the wall and tried to find the little rodent! Next time I simply must take my camera out, because she was truly acting like the Mighty Hunter!

She was very good and came to me when I called to her and at one point I asked Hubby, “Where is Greta”, and she came and lay down in front of me and rolled up on her back for a belly rub!

So the garden is fenced in (although nothing is planted yet due to the fact that we could still have a frost), and Hubby turned the soil and fertilized. I am so excited about this years garden. Just look at all of these wonderful plants!

The bees were working on the fruit trees. Here is a bumbler, working on our Mount Royal Plum tree. The thing about the Mount Royal Plums…they are the best eating plums I have ever had! Oh, total yumminess!!

The small blossoms do not show from a long way off. I’ve taken many macro shots so that you can enjoy the wonder of spring in my back yard!

I hope that you have a beautiful springtime, wherever you are. It’s my second favorite time of the year!

  1. We had a plum tree in our yard in Virginia. I called her the Snow Fairy when she bloomed-so gorgeous. And delicious! You have quite the garden! Do you have trouble with rabbits/deer?

    Hope you don’t get that frost!

  2. What a nice fenced garden ! That will really be Bio vegetables ! Not what you get in the shop for a lot of money ! I picked up Mr. G. he is happy to be home, they fed him too much, lol !
