Weekly Walk – May 20, 2009
I was thinking that it might be a nice record of the garden if I start doing a weekly pictoral capture. This is my first post in this theme.
My lilac is blooming – funny, I was just looking at it a week ago and it gave no sign of impending blooms, yet here they are already!

The apple trees are still blooming, and the ones nearest the house are finally filling in a bit.

The blackberries and raspberries are looking quite happy

The mint garden is a bit slow but coming along.

The drive garden has lillies in abundance!

Lillies Everywhere
The witch hazel has its first hesitant leaves unfurling,

while the japanese maples are already festooned with drooping bright green jagged edged leaves.

Trillium Grove Farm is where I am living my gardening dream and my personal ideals of working with nature and respecting the earth. This blog captures my garden and landscaping projects: I am interested in establishing woodland gardens, cultivating organic vegetables, planting trees of all sorts, and I have a weakness for native plants, lavender and lillies. I favour planting with diversity and then letting nature find the right balance rather than interfering with chemicals and monoculture. …I even plant extra for the critters.
