No Worries in the Garden

 
 The chilly spring weather hasn't affected the bloom time of the wild flowers or the spring bulbs.
The dogtooth violets are blooming and the trilliums will open up next week as per usual.



 The windflowers are low to the ground and gradually spread around.

 The drumstick primrose is quite tough although I lost one to a chipmunk.

 Blue scillas are popping up everywhere.


Daffodils are great as the squirrels and chipmunks don't eat them.  They will multiply but you usually have to divide them to get good blooming over the years.


 This bright yellow primrose always blooms before the other primroses.  It's really vigorous and a bit unusual in that it has multiple centers .
 I planted a small pan of microgreens.  A youtube video suggested including some radish in with the lettuces.  I also tossed in some basil seeds.  The young radish leaves are quite tasty.


The pink Chinese celery got planted outside yesterday. I find it quite decorative.
