Gardening Time in Tennessee!

OK, these are my Sugar Snap Peas. These things are sooooo good. I eat them right off the vines. I put them in my salads and in wraps. They love cool weather and start to go by the way when it gets hot and humid. They are easy to grow. If you live in cooler climates, you can keep planting these all season. I will plant then again for the fall cooler weather.
They literally are sweet like candy. You could get kids to try these for a new vegetable.








               
                                      

I planted lettuce and mustard together to save space and because they go good together.   

A neighbor gave me the leeks last year. I planted them and they proceeded to die, or so I thought. Well, they popped up this Spring and are beautiful. So, don't give up. Some things just don't like to be moved.
I can't wait to eat them.

I planted Chive seeds last year and they came up. This year they will bloom their pretty lavender blooms and make lots of seeds. I love the blooms and I cook with chives at almost every meal. I use them instead of onions sometimes. I also have some garlic Chives. The green leaves are flat instead of cylindrical like the regular Chive.
I am starting an herb garden and the Chives are center stage in the garden.
The blooms can be used to make Chive Vinegar. The blooms are dropped into the vinegar and left. They are very pretty in the bottle.                                                        

It's SPRING!!!!!!

Bleeding hearts
This plants gets humongous and loaded with
blooms. I love to photograph the hearts. They last for
about 2 months, until the humidity gets bad.











I have all kinds of Daffodils around the yards. Some smell really good and some  stink. They started
to pop up when snow was still on the ground. Love them, so do the bees.
