Wildflowers

The past few weeks have brought warmer weather up here and so we are getting wildflowers.

Currently there are primroses, lupine, balsam root, and a few paint brushes blooming. And of course dandelions.

The bushes are also starting to bloom--cliff rose and service berry are going right now.

Some rain a few days ago made everything shoot up. Right now everything is nice and green. The day temps are increasing and the nights are still cool. Currently we are at a moderate fire danger, so we will see how that changes in the next few weeks.

Inspired by nature, I tried to start an herb garden...which you will notice, I said tried. Some are doing well, some were doing well but are still hanging on, some I think are done for, and some didn't do anything. If this is a sign of how a veggie garden will grow, perhaps I would be better to just visit the farmer's markets...
