Almost the entire weekend has been spent in the garden. When I wasn't in the veg garden I was in the flower gardens. It is quite possible that I spent far too much time potting up baby plants to give away but I would rather do that than see them tossed in the compost. I still have a large pile of mulch sitting in the driveway but things are looking pretty good around here. On Friday the boys and I were mulching the side shade garden when I found this. I've no idea where it came from and I don't recall it being there last year. It is so pretty, I just love the speckles. 
My neighbour brought me some double lilacs, she brings me some each year because she knows that I love them too.
There are lots of firsts in the garden just now, I found the first of our California poppies in bloom, pretty soon there will be thousands of these. They are prolific spreaders and act as a bit of a ground cover here.
Here is the first daisy in bloom. We have loads of these and it is one of my favourite flowers to bring in as a cut flower. They are so simple and fresh looking.
And up top is a picture of our first columbine in bloom, I think that is the one that you gave me last year, Samantha.

Ooooooo!!!!! Pretty, pretty, pretty!!! We are a little behind you up here in the mountain - my lilacs are just starting to open their flowers, the daisy heads are still little balls not yet flowered and the columbines (my favourite!!) are teasing me ;-)
I love the way the seed everywhere, giving me a garden full of surprises :-)
