Back in Canada we are enjoying spring weather. A nice contrast to the sweltering days we were having in Thailand.
This is the first spring we have experienced on this new property in B.C.
The spring show has been beautiful with the flowering cherry and the rhodos putting on a brilliant show.
The plants I brought out from Ontario last fall have for the most part put down roots and survived their first winter here.
We are still waiting for the wood to start building a deer fence.(Ordered it 9 months ago, but hey we are working on island time here).
In the mean time we are putting in new raised beds that will be surrounded with bird netting that will hopefully also deter the deer.
I've also started a lot of seedlings. A plastic covered mini hoop house is protecting the plants until they get big enough to be transplanted. At least it helps me feel I am making progress on the gardening front.
The lilac tree that I've been threatening to chop down is now putting on a wonderful show. It is in the wrong place, but maybe if I give it a hard chop back it can stay around for a little while longer.
