There can be no hiding my joy in seeing all the vibrant signs of Spring — I’ve got the fever bad! I popped tomato plants in the vegetable bed along with seeds for lettuces, radishes, cilantro, parsley, basil and more. While those are busy sprouting, the classic dogwood is in prime bloom.
Next to our Eddie’s White Wonder dogwood, the rhubarb emerged and decided to bloom immediately. I’ve never seen this before. It’s pretty spectacular.
My first year with double freesia. They don’t have the intense scent of the single blossom, but I’ll take them anyway!
And with very little water, the succulents are happy,
happy.
These little things bring big pleasures.
We live in a really sheltered part of the UK, usually dry and warm. This year spring is really late. We don’t even have daffodils – they are over a month late. Our weather isn’t really ‘as advertised’, it doesn’t rain all the time, but it’s good to know that it’s odd all over the world this year.
We all like to know that we’re in good company, don’t we?
So nice to see spring somewhere. The spring in DK is also a month behind. When I saw your photos I went to our garden to look for the rhubarbs but all I could see was a tiny red spot. Luckily they are just late.
Weather patterns everywhere seem to be changing. Eventually the rhubarb shoots up though. We’ll have to compare recipes some day Gurli!
How sweet it is!
Thanks Peter. Your garden must be perking up too.
Franki,
I’m always happy to help with a Wednesday smile. Nice to hear from you Stephanie.
I’ll see your spring fever and raise you my own! Our weather has been glorious and intoxicating!

Agreed! We’re in our own little paradise! Thanks for sharing the view of your yard. Great shots!
Your photographs are amazing! I love them all, but the one of your flowering dogwood is my favorite. I can’t get over the picture of your rhubarb in bloom—I didn’t know rhubarb had flowers! If I didn’t already have Spring Fever, I’d most certainly catch it from you!
This is one fever I love to spread!
Stunning photos Franki. Never have seen a rhubarb in bloom! Wow!!
Stay tuned Renate. I have an update coming soon.
