Asparagus spears

It has begun! I can’t wait to have fresh from the garden asparagus. 🌱 #zone6garden

I think this is year 3 for my Itoh peonies. Noticed their little fingers popped up today. So I’m crossing my own fingers 🤞 that I get flowers this year. I don’t even remember what color they are. 🌱 #zone6garden

My first seedlings of 2026 say hello. Shishitos and jalapeno are eager to get going! 🌱 #zone6garden

Rhubarb plant

The rhubarb is awake. Hopefully my strawberries do better this year so I can make some strawberry rhubarb pie! 🌱 #zone6garden #illinois

So I guess next week it’s summer?! I guess I better get my seeds started. 🌱 #zone6garden

3 years ago I planted 12 asparagus. So you know what that means, I get to have fresh homegrown asparagus this season!! I’m so excited! 🌱 #zone6garden

Brussel sprouts have sprouted 🌱😁

If you’re dreaming about sunshine and pollinators while staring at gray February skies, let me introduce you to a native beauty that earns its keep in the garden: Rudbeckia triloba (Brown-Eyed Susan).

It’s February 1st. That means it’s probably time to start putting my seed list together. Only about 5 weeks until the indoor seed starting begins!! 🌱 #zone6garden

First bloom of the season: Coral Sunset! #peonies #zone6garden #gardeningismytherapy
