I haven't been on Gather much lately. I've been busy gardening for a living ( when it isn't raining). It is raining today.

After a long and very cold winter, I am finally convinced spring has indeed arrived.  So here are some photos from my garden with proof of life in the garden. Yipee!!

 I also want to remind everyone about the importance of not using pesticides and herbicides in your gardens. I use none and things usually look pretty good in my opinion. Nature has a way of evening everything out.

 

Plum Blossoms

 

Weeping larch

 

Rhododendron

 

Dutchman's Breeches

 

Daffodil

 

One of many tulips I rescued from an old farm house that was to be torn down.

 

Hosta leaves before unfurling

 

More tulips and my gardening (guardian) cat, Leo.

 

Thanks for visiting. I hope I can be around more soon.

Thanks everyone!
I've paid you all a visit. :-)
The one with the cat was inspired!

It's so exciting to be able to see everyone's gardens starting to bloom on this site. Nothing gets my juices flowing more than a tease of blossoms!

Everything is looking lovely. Too bad you can't share the scent of the garden, as well.

Those are some amazing and spectacular shots.

I haven't been on much lately until the last couple of days...too busy at work ;-)
This is exceptional photography..but of course you always do it up RIGHT! I simply love dewdrops or raindrops on flowers...the Rhododendron shot was my favorite!!!

This is a gorgeous photo essay. I would never use chemicals on my stuff. I am afraid they would harm my kids or my dog. I figure spiders will handle alot of the pests. So far I have been lucky

Gorgeous as always, Bobbi.

Beautiful shots. My husband, the gardener, does not use nasty and unnecessary products on our garden.

I am sure Leo is a great help to you in your gardening.
