#TodayInMyGarden I just harvested the first two squash. Not my favorite vegetable but I can eat it stir fried. Edward the cat probably doesn't like it either. 😁😸 #gardening #VegetableGardening

#TodayInMyGarden a pretty little ladybug resting on my muscadine grape leaf. The grapes are nearly ready to bloom. Hope the ladybugs will take care of any aphids that show up. #gardening

#TodayInMyGarden a pretty red daylily is blooming. #flowers #FlowerPhotography #gardening

#TodayInMyGarden the veggies and herbs are happy about the recent rain and looking nice and green. I have even spotted some tiny green cherry tomatoes forming. #gardening #VegetableGardening

#TodayInMyGarden the digitalis is in bloom. Also known as foxglove, this flower is a biennial so it is a good idea to start some new each spring if it doesn't self seed. #SpringFlowers #FlowerPhotography #flowers

#TodayInMyGarden tomatoes and basil are in the ground and looking pretty good so far. I plan to use the plastic pots to get water to the root zone when it gets dry this summer. #gardening #VegetableGardening #planting

#TodayInMyGarden it's too wet to do any planting but these tomatoes are going to have to get in the ground sometime this week. I don't see any frost in the long range forecast or I would try to wait another week. #gardening #SpringGarden #planting

#TodayInMyGarden the fading azalea flowers have raindrops on them after a little shower overnight. Going to be hot today so these probably won't be around much longer. They were pretty while they lasted. #gardening #SpringFlowers #FlowerPhotography #flowers

#TodayInMyGarden some of the azaleas are just starting to fade. They are still beautiful and thankfully they withstood our freeze this morning. I think that may be the last of our really cold nights. I am still going to put off planting tender stuff for a couple of weeks. #gardening #SpringFlowers #flowers #azaleas

#TodayInMyGarden the Mahonia has a few berries among the prickly leaves. #gardening #SpringGarden

#TodayInMyGarden with what I hope will be the last freeze behind us this morning, I have moved my little tomato plants back into the greenhouse from spending two days and nights in my bedroom window, the only sunny spot in our house. I hope to plant them in the garden in two or three weeks depending on the long range forecast. #gardening #VegetableGardening #SpringGarden

#TodayInMyGarden the azaleas are blazing with color in the bright sunlight. Thankfully, they didn't freeze last night but tonight it is supposed to be colder. I am holding out hope for them. They are so brief anyway but I would like for them to last a little longer. #flowers #SpringFlowers #FlowerPhotography #FloralPhotography

#TodayInMyGarden I will probably be saying goodbye to these wisteria blossoms because we're getting a freeze tonight and tomorrow night. I have put a heat lamp in my little greenhouse to protect my seedlings but nothing to be done about the azaleas and wisteria that are blooming early this year. 😢 #gardening #SpringFlowers #spring

#TodayInMyGarden sweet William is in bloom. I started these from saved seed last spring so I didn't know what I would get. I like the bold color contrast of the dark pink and green, especially amid the duller hues of the mulch and the nandina behind. #gardening #SpringFlowers #FloralPhotography #flowers #Springtime

#TodayInMyGarden azaleas are blooming. This magenta color is especially showy. Nothing says springtime in the US South like a garden of these shrubs in full bloom. #SpringFlowers #gardening #spring #FloralPhotography #azaleas

#TodayInMyGarden the dogwood tree is blooming about a month early. #SpringFlowers #gardening #FlowerPhotography

#TodayInMyGarden a tree covered in wisteria. The scent is amazing but you can see how invasive it is in my area. Oak trees are blooming at least a month early. Sky is blue and clear of the pollen haze we have had, but expect it will come back soon. This is the worst year for pollen in a long time. #gardening #SpringFlowers #springtime

#TodayInMyGarden this little Japanese maple is flowering and bringing forth new green foliage as spring gets well underway. #SpringFlowers #flowers #FloralPhotography #gardening

#TodayInMyGarden the quince is putting out a second round of beautiful blossoms in pink and white. Spring is definitely here in my area as many things are now in bloom. #SpringFlowers #gardening #FlowerPhotography

#TodayInMyGarden The wisteria is starting to bloom at least a month early. #FlowerPhotography #SpringFlowers #gardening
