I love walking through the garden at this time of year. Yes, there is a lot of work to be done, but there is also so much to see, it is just not as blatant as in August.
So much life.
So much potential.
So much beauty.
We have parsley, lovage, lemon balm, chives, garlic, spinach, lettuce, rhubarb, mint, peas, radishes, mustard greens, mache, spring onions and turnips - most still tiny, but growing so much each week. The currants are showing their beginnings, raspberries are popping up all over, and strawberry heads are looking lovely. The lilacs and tulips are getting close, and the irises have just started to peek up as all of our trees and bushes are showing green. 
And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
~Percy Bysshe Shelley
What is blooming in your garden?
