The roses are blooming in our garden! Apparently one of Portland’s numerous nicknames is “City of Roses”. And for a good reason — there are roses blooming every where, even in neglected sidewalks.
Such a happy color rose, but it still manages to look a bit melancholic under the grey sky.
These roses smell very very nice and have fluffy petals!
It looks like the rose bush in our garden is about to bloom! We weren’t sure if it would survive as a potted plant, but so far so good. It’s a variety called Dream Come True.
It’s been drizzily out these past two weeks — I think that our little garden looks pretty in grey sky with droplets of rain. Todd planted this rose bush for me about 6 weeks ago and it’s already 3 times as tall as it was then!
We started some seeds on our window sill a few weeks ago, and they have sprouted! I put some of them in lanterns hoping to protect them from our cats. The one in the glass lantern is cucumber!
Here’s the basil sprouting in the green glass oversized goblet thingie (…which we got at thrift shop for $1.50).
I’m totally loving the color green lately. Very odd thing since I’ve never thought twice about green. It just might be a spring thing.
We have a new friend in our garden! This little spider is working up a web on our blueberry bush and the balcony railing.
