In spring, the garden is a feast of blossom!
Spring;
The season after winter and before summer, in which vegetation begins to appear.
The race for paradise
Who doesn’t love spring, it is always exciting mixed with a bit of urgency to get busy.
I am in the process of preparing my spring line up for the final time deciding on what berries to plant and what types of greens and what medicinal herbs will be added for our spring garden. ( The things that excite me )
as for the flowers, I am going to plant the Hawaiian Plumeria in a planter on my front patio as a accent.( fancy huh? I know )
My to do list is still far from being complete there are some many ideas I would like to implement but we shall see how my spring line up goes first.
As far as my garden is concerned I will definitely add more stinging nettle, it did well in the garden last spring but didn’t make it thru the frost when all else fails try again.
I am also planting Oca tubers and Yacons it is my hope the do well, fingers crossed.
This year we are planting more Asian greens, they are more hardy and resistant to beetles and worms. My husband and I have already been seeding the garden beds with wildflowers, Echinacea purple cone flowers, Comos, and Black Eye Susan’s.
We love the pollinators and beneficial insects, we just introduced our first casing of praying mantis in the beds as well as ladybugs. This spring time I am trying to be a little more proactive and release our beneficial bugs in the beds while there are still plenty of flowers, weeds, and vegetation so the eggs can hatch and we will have a second generation already in place.
Spring and summer creates a explosion of abundance including pests so I feel I really want to get ahead of the game by putting the workers in place. Our worm farm is in full force to help make worm castings. If your going to do it, right now is the time to get prepared a little everyday.
The best part about springtime is daylight saving time in my opinion, and I'm over the moon about it, it gives me a bit of a edge to get things done.
I am celebrating , it is the season for rebirth and bringing forth new life. I think the world is looking for this refreshing, in our mind body and spirit and soul.

Well for starts my son and his girlfriend just came back from Hawaii and brought us back some really nice seeds and cuttings. Starting with Hawaiian chili pepper seeds, Liliuokalani-Passion Fruit seeds and one of my favorite Hawaiian Papaya seeds.
I am going to plant them in pots for the next six weeks indoors, in the greenhouse tent and take them out daily for about a hour so when I transplant them outdoors into there pots, I won’t have to harden them off.
My plans for them will all be apart of my backyard patio garden.

Whatever that is on your list for spring, always remember to laugh, love and pray. We got this; “We get another chance to smell the flowers.”
