Finally Spring!

At long last spring seems to have finally arrived in Wisconsin! I planted my herbs and tomatoes a couple weeks ago (I just couldn't wait) but the flowers I saved for today. :) I was so excited about my flowers that I took a few pictures. Then I thought that some of you who read this have never visited before so I took a few more of the yard so you can see what we've been up to the last 3 years:

My window boxes

The flowers in each box (3 petunias, 2 impatiens)

I couldn't resist the salvia. :)

My roses

The lillies and hastas we planted after moving in. They're doing nicely. :)

Then you have my herbs. Still small but give them time...
(basil, citronella, thyme, rosemary, parsley, lemon verbena and sage)

Yeah, that crazy overgrowing mass by the garage would be my raspberries. The seemingly empty space next to them are my tomatoes.

Big random bush we inherited, dwarf Korean lilac we planted and behind that are tiger lillies

The forsythia. The area around it is a work in progress, hopefully completed this weekend

These are by my tomatoes... I'm a sucker for purple flowers. :)

So I don't know what the ball-thing is but it's getting transplanted to the forsythia bed so my lilac has more breathing room.

Probably plant it to camouflage part of the basement window

Rob put in the patio right after we moved in

Ok so it's not greenery but it is how I decided to end the day... Moist Mocha Cake. :D
