Can you smell the lilac?

The lilacs are looking lovely this year.
They certainly have the attention of the butterflies, moths and bees in the neighbourhood. I take that as a good sign.

Prepping my pots

Spring is finally here in full swing.

The temperatures are still a bit cool but it was enough to pull out all of my pots for this year’s balcony garden.

And let this be known that this is the last photo I will ever take of that awful old barbecue. It has now moved on to new pastures. Well the dump anyway.

After all the talk of vertical gardens and vegetables,  I am going to do things a bit more simply this year. All flowers, a few herbs and one pepper plant.

The chives survived

Well this year we start the herb garden on a good note.

It appears the chives have made it through the winter. The lavender didn’t fare so well but I have a new one to add as well as more chives, catnip, mint and a few other goodies.

Frost warning be damned!
