Since there was no sewing this weekend, you’re going to see a lot of my gardens this week, lol!

The garden, as ever, is full of weird and wonderful, unplanned things.

Like this lone little grape hyacinth growing up inside a ring of irises. No idea how it got there – I certainly didn’t plant it there – but there it is!

Or this Allium. It’s sprouted up in the lawn under the hose. In fact – there are three alliums coming up there. I absolutely did NOT plant them there. Nor where they left behind from the previous owner, because they didn’t come up there the past two years since we moved in. My best guess is the squirrels were playing hide-and-seek with my bulbs over winter. I wonder what else they moved around…

I’m not entirely sure what these are. I think they might be ground-cover tulips. I planted some in fall 2022…but not in that particular garden. They were planted in the driveway garden – these ones are a good distance across the yard in the front garden.

I know what these are. They are a double bloom grape-hyacinth. When they bloom, they are just a mess of petals. But “in bud” they are just these weird fuzzy mushroom looking things!

And these are obviously forget-me-nots. Except…. they were supposed to be a perennial bachelor button. I bought them last year from a local gardener who was selling some of her plant divisions. Obviously, things got a little mixed up.

I’m not mad though. I love forget-me-nots – In fact, I have a pack of seeds I planned to plant in the woodland garden this year.

I’m sure the garden will bring many more surprises in the coming weeks. Anything curious happening in your gardens?
