Spring was very late this year and I have been slow to get my gardens ready. But the daffodils and tulips could not wait and are in full bloom in the rain garden, along the sidewalk by the front garden and around the Mary statue in the backyard. They just automatically come with spring and disappear soon afterwards. But the yellow daffodils and red tulips make for a good show as long as they last. Some things in life, like these flowers, just come and go and their beauty is to be enjoyed for awhile and then again for awhile.

The new fence along the driveway gave me a chance to build another garden. This one will be plants in pots, herbs, greens, tomatoes and such, along the fence on a downhill slope. Today I finished pacing the covering along the fence and rocks around the planters. Now I need to fill the planters with compost, coir and castings plant the seeds, set up the watering system from a rain barrel and watch as the sun and water make the plants grow. Each year I decide to take on one new project and this is it. However, because of the late spring and start the other garden projects are taking a backseat for now. I will be able to bring in the sun room some of the planters for the winter but for the most part I will need to plant them each spring. Unlike the daffodils and tulips these plants will not automatically bloom next year.

There are more pictures of the daffodils and tulips below. I had to take time from my garden work today to enjoy them and share these perennial spring flowers with you. Daffodils and tulips cannot wait for me or you to have the time to enjoy them. The time is now.
