Growing!

I love Spring! I love the flowers, the promise of new life, little bitty plants in the garden--all of it! Here are some pictures from our spring this year.

Heading out to the garden!
Pointing out the watermelon seedlings :D
I promise he's not trying to look grown up! He's just proud of our green blueberries
Grandma Laura's roses are really something!
This gorgeous rose bush was cut down several times in the name of the hedge, but just kept coming back! This year is its most beautiful yet. We're going to find a way to keep it from getting chopped this year.
This bush has gotten so big! 
Cucumber
Zinnias--to attract pollinators! (don't worry, I'm going to thin them)
Carrots! (also going to be thinned)
Levi's trying to point out a developing pear.
We're finally going to get pears this year! (I planted the tree at least 4 years ago)
Can you smell this picture?!
Look closely for the photobomber.
Just precious.
He looks so worried!
Levi cleared out this area with just loppers and brute force!
Before, the area was impenetrable and you couldn't see the fence back there.


The thorns on these trees are vicious. It's called Callery pear and it's an invasive species.
These trees made up bulk of what Levi cleared out, along with a fair amount of privet.




This is similar to what the other area looked like before it was cleared out.


He likes to nibble on the clover

 I have to say, my garden is coming along nicely, but I love my crop of boys even better!
