Soooo excited to find that some of my seeds are sprouting!
Look at my happy little broccoli’s!
They’re in a crowded little cluster here because they get planted in groups of 6 and then get thinned once they reach 2 inches high.

My spinach is popping up too!
These are planted in groups of 3.
~
Only found 1 of the 13 Peas I planted sprouting up so far, but it’s still early yet and I have no doubt they’ll all be popping up soon!

After all of the excitement over seeing my newly planted seeds growing, my daughter and I went around my mom’s yard and snapped a few photos of the other various things we found growing too…
I don’t even remember how many years ago I planted these yellow tulips for my mom, but it’s so wonderful to find them still coming up every spring.

Here is one of my most favorites ~Lily of the valley! They are just starting to bloom…
My grandmother planted these along the side of the house when my mom was just a teenager, so these have been around for quite a while. Last spring when my dad was in hospice at home, I would pick some of these every day and bring them in to him. I can still picture him holding them up to his nose, closing his eyes, breathing in deeply, and enjoying their beautiful fragrance. I miss you pops. ♥

And of course I had to take yet even more photos of my mom’s Lilacs…

Later on, we took a drive over to my sis’s and found that the rhubarb growing in her yard was coming along nicely…
~
And the strawberries are flowering as well…
We have plans to can some strawberry rhubarb jam as the strawberry growing season progresses. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve canned so I’m pretty excited about it!

I had this “grow” stone decorating my own garden for several years and passed it on to my mom for her garden when I moved. I like to think of it as just giving the plants a little extra encouragement to GROW…

How is your garden growing?

What beautiful pictures of new growth… I love the spring and spend time in my greenhouse everyday with the seedlings!
