We are gradually adding gardens to our property that was all grass when we bought it last year. We dug five new gardens this spring, though it will take a few more years to have more garden than grass....
Here are some pics of what is blooming this week

White and pink peonies. The white ones were buried in gravel last year, still blooming... that's one tough plant.

This is a Manitoba wild rose. We brought it to Ontario almost ten years ago. This is its third home since then.

and this purple thing my wife says is a columbine?

One way of contrasting science and dogma is to say that a scientist accepts facts as given and belief systems as tentative, whereas a dogmatist accepts the belief system as given; facts are irrelevant. (McCain and Segal)
