I love the Columbines in particular. Of course, the rest of the blooms are gorgeous, too! And, you have so many ...
I love the Columbine- just beautiful. Looks like you're having a wonderful spring. Happy GBBD to you!
That maroon and yellow Columbine is really cool! Everything looks great.
I have no tomato flowers yet--do the cherry-type tomatoes tend to bloom/set fruit earlier than big tomatoes?
I love the columbines too. They grow in the shade which makes them ideal for my back yard. I just recently planted two red ones, which haven't bloomed yet.
I'm not sure if the cherry tomatoes are sooner, I'll have to compare my seed packages. My brown berry has 3 little tomatoes already, but I got that one from my neighbor, not from seed, so I can't do a fair comparison.
I know marigolds provide bug control - what do nasturtiums protect against? I have TONS of seedlings, so maybe I'll stick some of those on the veg garden after all...
From what I've read, squash bugs, aphids and white flies. I've used marigolds in the past, but this is my first time using nasturtiums in the garden.
I know that feeling, it's a few days before bloom day and nothing seems to be blooming. But then I look more closely... Great collection. Thanks so much!
