My little first bed in my garlic patch with two sprouts coming up.

Another little row with 3 more garlics coming up.

A group of bird drops sunflowers that are doing quite well. One is in full bloom and two are nearly there. My red mums are also still blooming beautifully.

My rose bushes, most of which are still putting out blooms, in front of a beautiful backdrop of the mountains with clouds hovering over them and a beautiful blue sky above.

In, and working on more prep before tilling. My garlic is already coming up. And some of my blooms are still going!

May Day is Lei Day in Hawaiʻi!

🌿 Happy Lei Day, friends. 🌿

They want to destroy our society so they can rescue us from the problems they create & think we’ll thank them.

We will rescue ourselves!

They think we are weak but like the rose we have thorns…

Courage is contagious.

The earliest bloom in a #Minnesota #nativegarden The Eastern Pasqueflower #pulsatillapatens #pasqueflower. Along with everyone else, I've been hanging by a thread, but hope always springs eternal when flowers start to bloom. #plantnative #spring #gardeningisresistance #saveournativebees #bloomsky

Whiskey barrel planters covered with plastic sheet in a picture collage with Parsnip seed packets. Two varieties: Hollow Crown and Half Long Guernsey.

Planted six of my whiskey barrel planters to parsnips and got them covered in greenhouse plastic. They will need watered once a week and should sprout by the end of the month.🌱

We got more seeds in the mail today. It feels strange to be excited for the future, if only to grow these plants, enjoy their beauty, and share the boundary with family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. #gardeningisresistance
