The Weekend Gardener

The Weekend Gardener is back!

Spring is around the corner and trees and plants that hibernated these past months are springing back to life, bringing with them colours and life.

I will have to spend some time clearing out this space for my spring veggie gardening. But in the meantime, here are a couple of flowers that have turned up in our backyard:
