Blue MayDay

It's May and the sun is shining, oh wait it's raining, oh hey the sun is out again!...We've been suffering the gardener's dilemma where every time we get dressed to work in the yard it rains.  As soon as we go in it's sunny again! Oh well...

The yard is full of Blue Flowers!  Well sometimes purple...But that doesn't go with the song.



From SSG
Purple Money Plant - Lunaria annua - the seeds will be around soon - let me know if you want some.
From SSG
Comfrey - A great composter, did you know? Apparently full of nitrogen!
From SSG
Vinca Minor, though it should be called Vinca Major in our garden. We grow it under a plam and it goes nuts.

From SSG
Bluebells (and cockle shells?)
From SSG
Even the Asparagus is tinged with purple. This was the first crop  of the year - check out the giant! It was still tender and delicious.

I have a feeling June will be pink - ROSES!

  2. ZOMG, that is the craziest asparagus I've ever seen! Is it 5 grown together, or just one that got really long and thin?

  3. holy hell, that asparagus isn't a stalk but a STEAK! What are you feeding those guys?? And if you get any more Mutant X-Factor asparagus, save them and create a new, more powerful breed of flat, wide asparagus!
