I'm not allowed to do gardening in our house.
Apparently I don't know a weed from a plant or flower.
I would just pull them all up.
Wife told me to stay away from gardening.
Mission accomplished

But, I just realize I can laugh at him in the garden. If a plant isn't in full bloom the first time we go out back after winter, he thinks it's dead. To him there is only dead or alive. I keep trying to explain to him that some plants come out of hibernation later. He laughs at me because that's my same excuse if they really are dead too.
According to him, sometime in the last month, the Russian Sage was "dead," the blackberry didn't make it, the butterfly bush and rose are dead. I just proved two out of four of those plants weren't dead. I see proof the rose isn't dead.
Men and women. We sure think differently, don't we? lol
Pigeons are rats with wings. They're the city's unpaid garbage collectors. Drop your sandwich on the sidewalk, and they're the ones taking it away. (Granted, then they eat it, and poop it out on your car, but whoever said things work out perfectly? lol)
But, yeah, went out just to enjoy the garden. So have some pictures I did post on FB. (I keep forgetting it works like that.)
(That is NOT my knee at the bottom left. lol)
Chives are flowering. So are old scallions. And do you like that I have a teapot and cup in the garden?
The same spot, but this is above it, and the other was from below. That's my plant stand -- a children's picnic table. Thyme is flowering behind the teacup and teapot. And that's my bay on a stand to the right.
Other side of the garden, our blackberry is taking off. The flowers below it are clematis, but this is only its second year, so not very big yet. (Didn't flower much last year, so this is improvement.) And parsley to keep clematis feet cool.
Other corner, near the gate into the alley, is our old Russia Sage and tomatoes starting.

You know how some people say, "Money is no object"? Yeah, money is an object to us. We couldn't afford that pot even if we found it in a second-hand shop, but this neighborhood is 100 years old, and I see evidence those kinds of pots were quite the fashion statement for the neighborhood way back when. I'm guessing the ones that survived, survived from decades of neglect. If you ignore it nothing happens to it. We have another one that's big enough for our chamomile. If you look closely at the picture of the blackberry bush, then the clematis, at the right side of the clematis is a part of that one.
The Lord has been kind enough to water our garden today, so I can get to paying bills and folding laundry without guilt for neglecting the garden.
The cement pot? Very expensive! It cost $69,000, but house included. (It came with the house. lol)

The weather is just permitting gardening now. The farmers are in the fields today so I guess we'll be cultivating and fertilizing our vegetable garden soon. YES! That is an exciting time of year . Some wild or perennial flowers are just starting to bloom. The violets are just starting to peek out, and the lilacs are budding! Those two are some of my all-time favorite flowers so I'm happy . Planting pretty soon. Mid May is typical. Rarely earlier, sometimes later. Such is the life up here

I spent the last two Saturdays cutting down the back and front grass. First there was
nothing due to the snow and rain. Then over a two week period it sprouts over a foot long!
Rosemary I put some of this purple stuff in my front garden last spring. How surprised was I to see it
continue to flower all summer and all through last winter. It’s still flowering and grows really
thick and bushy. I’ve had to cut it back loads.
It attracts a tonne a butterflies. I can’t remember what it is called but
I got it from a B & Q garden centre as a few small plug plants.
Oh and the plants around it were geranium seeds I planted, got loads of flowers off
those too. They attract lots of cabbage white butterflies and caterpillars.
