Fast irises!

Three days ago, I posted a picture of the first iris of the year. Almost overnight, the rest bloomed!



So gorgeous! There are more coming.

The daffodils and tulips are still coming up!

More first flowers!

The first iris, and the azaleas!





More daffodils:



And a visitor:

Babies!

I guess that's why garden centers are called nurseries. :p Cute little baby squash and peas- getting ready to be put in the garden!





Mom has a Meyer Lemon tree. It's never produced any fruit...until now! This is the first little lemon. It's still growing, but currently it's only an inch and a half long.



How Mom gets her garden babies started:



The AeroGarden is nice- it means we have fresh herbs all year-round!

It's Spring!

The first daffodils have appeared!






And the onions have been planted...and they're beginning to sprout!

Snow on snow on snow...

The first snow of the season hit my area today. Not much, and it didn't really stick, but it's snow. Yuck. The garden season is pretty much over:

The flowers that survived the first frost were covered with gritty, dry, snow pellets.







The cats don't like it much. Kira acted surprised:



I'm already looking forward to spring...

Late fall flowers...

I'm not so surprised about the roses lasting this long. The iris is a big surprise, though! I haven't seen an iris in the garden since late June. Where did this one come from? And it's not the first- there was a beautiful purple iris in the garden about a month ago.

Roses and rosebuds...they just keep coming, despite the colder weather and some frost!




A "Julia Child" rose. Normally, they're yellow, but they've turned a bit peach in the fall. Weird.


The surprise iris. With more to come...

Itty Bitty Pumpkin!

Mom had no luck with pumpkins this year. She found this one over the weekend. It's barely an inch long and less than an inch high, but it is a pumpkin...it's so cute!



Not much bigger than the Hershey's Kiss I put next to it.
