Lots blooming now.
European Lindens. I planted these in 2013. Highly fragrant! Honeybees love the flowers, but no honeybees around. :-(
Buddleia. Highly fragrant!
More Sweetpeas. Highly fragrant!
More lavender! The leaves are highly fragrant. Im not certain about the flowers.
They don't look like much yet, but are covered with flower buds. Not bad for seeds I started in early Spring. There are red, pink, and yellow ones. I think they will be covered with flowers in a couple of weeks.
These are the first potatoes of the year. The variety is "Envol", a very early variety. I grew these in the container planter that I built last winter. The plant leaves were starting to dry out and turn yellow, so I don't think these were going to grow larger or more potatoes.
I think this was not super productive - 8 pounds from two 25 gal containers - but not bad. They were super easy to dig out, very clean, no shovel injuries to potatoes. Overall, I'm happy with thus result.
The Costata romanesca zucchini, and Saffron summer squash are blooming. One of the zucchinis had male flowers, so I used those to pollinate all of the female flowers.
During the winter, I transplanted about a dozen old lavender plants. They were old plants, ten or fifteen years old but not thriving at all. In their original locations, they were being out competed by grass and weeds. Now they are in the meditation garden.
These may need a year or two, to become more bushy and really stand out. Even so, they are covered with flowers. It's a sensual pleasure puttering and weeding these plants. Every brush against them brings out waves of lavender scent.
Similar in some ways to lavender, I also moved a half dozen rosemary plants. Only two survived, and their growth so far is minimal. I moved a dozen sage plants too. They recovered, are putting on a lot of growth, but no blossoms yet.
