She Speaks: We can only do this one way—together

We could just choose to be determined to be respectful and kind during a frightening time—and this goes for climate change, too. Maybe kindness is a kind of cure.

Not the most elegant plant but always makes me smile. I divided 3 established plants and placed them all over the garden but it looks like only one - this one - ended up blooming. But what a bloom. Love her
Hellebore is one of my absolute favourite plants. Until this year, it was my earliest bloomer. And this variety is the only I've had success with so far. My other is perhaps planted to close to the lilac tree. I'll have to experiment with a move eventually. I think the general gardening rule these days is that a healthy garden is 70% native, but I'm not there. I have quite a few lovely non-natives including some bigger bushes like hydrangeas. And this hellebore is not native to Ontario either. But I'm observing pollinator activity and if it isn't bringing home the bees, it's evicted! #mercilessgardening #hellebore #pinkflower #springephemeral #springisspringing #nonnatives
This is now a gardening blog! RIP to my former posting pattern. This lovely little friend is the crocus - I planted about 50 bulbs, 3 varieties, last year. The squirrels got at least some, and I don't remember all the places I stuck them, so it's a wonderful adventure seeing them pop up (not so wonderful realizing I'd been walking over some).
The girlfriend got a drone so I get garden progress pics. So excited to see how it changes through the seasons. Thank you @kaikanuck!
Another early harbinger of spring. This heather is part of a haul given to me by a local master gardener - I wasn't sure it would bloom this year but its cheerful cheekiness has lifted my spirits even on the gloomiest of days.
Thank goodness for wonderful friends. Nancy and Jay, you are so special to Kai and me. We always feel so welcome in your home, and our conversations leave me feeling lighter, smarter, and loved. Thank you for this treasured friendship.
