Currently we've got arugula, spinach, basil, thyme, cilantro, cherokee heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes in our garden. The indoor seeds I started (lettuce, chives, parsley and green onions) may not survive the drought caused by my forgetfulness in watering them. Oops. :/ The garden is now rabbit-proof (we have LOTS of rabbits).
Our raspberry bushes (2) are growing quickly -- I am so thrilled, even if we will be waiting a year or more for raspberries. The leaves are beautiful. We've also got a small patch of tall and hearty ferns, as well as a few very dainty maidenhead ferns that I recently planted under our cherry tree. Our rose bush (more like a little tree, really) is growing, too, and some of our peonies appear ready to pop!
Lily of the valley is abundant and I'm trying to transplant it to spread in designated areas. The same is true for day lilies and hastas -- I'm not a huge fan of either but am hoping to find places (less prime real estate) for them to still flourish in our yard. We also have a number of barrels with perennials in them -- echinacea and butterfly weed, to name a few. They haven't made too much progress yet.
This sounds like so much flora as I write it, but really our yard is very tiny and it doesn't even seem like it has all that much going on! That being said, I expect to keep expanding our gardening adventures year-to-year; for kind of a wimp (I despise bugs), I'm really getting into gardening. Even weeding is incredibly satisfying and relaxing.
Also, one of our indoor plants recently sprouted new life in a surprising place..! (Sorry, not the best photo.)
