glad to see so many enthusiasts!

i am a gardener by trade [my place of employment]

i believe myself to be very lucky! this year i am starting my first very own garden.

perennials: lupine, shasta daisy, hollyhock, foxglove, alyssum [semi perennial], columbine
Aww, I planted a lot of those, too! Columbine is one of my special favorites, especially the blue cultivars. I grow alyssum as an annual though, even though it's a great self-sower. Will your plants flower this season, or will you have to wait until next summer?
veggies: sweet basil, red & yellow cherry tomatoes, parsley and some hot pepper for D.

columbine is a fave of D as well, hence its selection. He is also fond of bearded iris. as far as i know none of the flowers are bienniel and thus should bloom this season. they just got their first "true" leaves, so its time to feed them soon! [:)]
My daffodillies will be blooming anytime now. =) Next will come the wild violets everywhere... I've been looking for the seeds but can't pinpoint the exact species.
