I had to dodge the raindrops this morning to get these quick snaps on my mobile. The first part of the week was quite glorious, prompting growth spurts everywhere, and even today’s gloom can’t stop these glorious colours from shining on this last weekend of spring.

1 – Lupins everywhere!
2 – Iris everywhere!
3 – Oriental Poppies everywhere!
4 – Small carpets of Sedum acre starting to bloom:
5 – Spaghetti Squash has sprouted – seeds were saved from a squash grown last year, which sprouted from seeds grown the year before… I now, I need to thin out this group to maybe three…
6 – In the kitchen garden, the beets have sprouted this week. I planted them late – friends have beenharvesting beet greens for a while already…I’m hoping the rabbits don’t find these. Now that I see this shot enlarged, the beet itself is kind f fuzzy, isn;t it? At least the mulch and little clover are in focus!
It’s lupin time in PrinceEdward county ! Lovelys colors !….
About beetroots, mine are smaller than yours. I sowed them not so long time ago and I will eat them in autumn or winter
Stunning lupins.
Yes they’re really wonderful this year
Lovely bright colours. I love lupins. All looking good there. Karen
Your lupins are looking great. This rain has been so good for the garden but I’d like some sunshine now! Happy gardening.
Yes, sunshine would be nice, especially on a weekend!
Beautiful lupins, after seeing this, I’m going to order some seeds, I don’t have enough. I love your irises too.
Thanks! I’ve started lupin seeds indoors before, but seem to have better luck simply scratching them into the soil.
Looks like there will be a rush for lupins and I’m joining it! Your garden is looking fabulously colourful.
Thanks Jane!!
S&S love lupins! Your garden is amazing in such a short time of growth. Does it get quite hot where you live in the summer?
Thanks an yes it can get (relatively) hot and humid here – usually 25 – 30 degrees in July and August, frequently (a dozen days or so) above 30.
That is hot! For me 🙂
Wow, those first few pictures are so richly colorful! I am getting to like those lupines, even though I am not familiar with them. We have plenty of natives, but they are wildflowers, and are almost exclusively blue. Some are yellow.
Lupins looking fab, I’ll get some more next year. I might collect some seed from my fancier ones, see how they grow.
