Garden Lou: Garden tour May 2014

Here's a little photo tour of the things growing in my yard this spring:

Blossoms on our Northstar cherry tree, just planted on Saturday

Some of the tulips that haven't blossomed yet

Seedum and salvia (I think)

Not sure. Might be black-eyed Susan.

Can't remember what this is called, but I got it from my realtor, Michele, our first spring at the house.

Lemon balm

New raspberries! Susan at Squash Blossom Farm dug out a bunch of raspberry canes that were encroaching on some of her other fruit bushes, and Aaron and I planted them on Saturday.

Another shot of our new cherry tree. This is a special variety that doesn't need a friend for pollination.

Raspberries! These are from my friend, Kathleen. We got a ton of fruit from them last year, even though we just planted them that spring. I pruned and tied them about a month ago and am hoping for another great harvest.

Lovage. I didn't realize this was going to come back up. Might move it somewhere else.

Mint. Transplanted into this pot because I don't want it to overrun my yard.

Garlic! Planted last fall. This was the first thing I noticed growing in my yard this spring.

Parsley. I started these inside.

Tarragon, also from Kathleen.

Don't remember what this is.

Seedum from Dorothy.

Don't remember what this is, but I think it's the plant that grows really tall and flowers in the fall with pretty purple blossoms that the bees love.
