Thriving Thursday - Perennials

Spring has finally and officially come to Irishladysgarden.  Half way through April and Finally something to truly post about.  Ok so thats not true as I always find something to post about.  Today is Thriving Thursday and it's all about Perennials.  Specifically I want to see all the signs of life outside the home.  Tree's budding things like that.  If it is something you planted even better.

So for my entries:



The Lilac tree in the front yard next to the driveway is looking very green today.  Just looking up at the branches made me smile.



Not a flower or tree but a perennial indeed.  My Rhubarb takes center stage in my edible kitchen garden as a perennial back for it's second year.  I can just taste the strawberry-rhubarb jam I made last year from this planting.

A forest?  No it's carrots.  The carrots that over wintered in the Greenhouse have begun to grow like weeds again.


One of the trees we planted last year - A Sargent Crabapple.  A lot more leaves this year course it is another year older.  This guy measures in at 20" so he was in and out of the snow all winter but did have a car port land on him.
He is truly a thriving tree after that fiasco.

My Pink Rose bush that was featured a lot last year here because of it beautiful flowers has woken from it's winter nap and is quickly growing new leaves.



The Lilac tree we planted at the same time as the Crabapple is also showing signs of it's survival from our harsh winter.  This guy is only 6" tall so he was burried under all the snow the whole time.


Now it's your turn.  Show off the spring that is in your yard.  Add your post's link to mrlinky below and post a comment.  Come back and see who else joined in and what they are posting about.

  1. Sorry I couldn't join in this week Melissa. I was my little brothers wedding, so there was no time spent in the garden, but I did get to see my cousins who I havn't seen for nearly 20 years and it was nice to see they were definately thriving!
