SHS 3/3

This week, my Scavenger Hunt is focused on my garden.
What I have and what I want.


Red

 These are the first things going into my garden this year.
Just waiting for a little warmer weather....


Orange

 This is what I would have in my garden if I lived in the right place.
Oh, grapefruit, you slay me.


Yellow

 At least the daffodils don't care about the cold and grow profusely.


Green

 The Lilies should be opening shortly.


Blue

 And my favorite flower in my favorite color.
A blue Hyacinth.


Brown

Mmy fresh, newly tilled vegetable garden.
Come on, Spring!

  1. You are seeing such beautiful signs of Spring in your parts. I grew up in Texas and I know by this time of the year, Spring was in bloom, however we are along way from Spring in the Chicago area. Happy Sunday and have a glorious week ahead.

  3. I think it would be neat to have an orange tree too! Looks like you have a lot of space to grow your garden!! Very soon it will be planting time indeed!

  4. Fun, bountiful shots. When it comes to oranges, I worship the person who came up with Cuties (made for kids, but loved by adults - I just added that last part) - so easy to peel and yummy to eat. Happy gardening!

  5. So exciting to have your garden all tilled! We've still have too much snow here!

  6. Awesome idea ... Garden Hunt Sunday! We don't have any snow and nothing is greening up around here. With the mild weather and calving it feels like spring.

    The Blue Hyacinth picture is my favorite.

  10. Oh yay! Such lovely photos. I can't even picture spring right now with all the crazy snow we have here. The snow piles are higher than me and we are expecting another 5-8 inches tonight and tomorrow. Bah!
    Thanks for sending a bit of spring my way!
