A River Runs Through It

I love this time of year.  The world is green instead of black and white and everything is so new.  This is Mountain Creek running past our house headed for the Columbia and the Pacific Ocean.


  All my hard work planting is starting to show with little sprouts popping up through the soil.  In the back ground are the peas, Sugar Ann, Montana Marvels, and Green Arrow.  The strawberries are covered with blossoms in the foreground, yum, strawberry shortcake soon.

I moved my babies to the greenhouse.  They are just covered in little baby tomatoes.  I worried about my babies during the night.  They are not used to temperatures in the 30's.  I sure hope they like their new home.

 Does anyone know what these white flowers are?  Their foliage remains green all winter and the flowers are some of the first to bloom.  Could they be candy tufts?

 My creeping thyme is blooming.  I love the lavender flowers and the great smell.  I put thyme in many of my soups especially those with a cream sauce as in potato or asparagas. 

This will be my last post for awhile, I am headed to see my family in Ohio where you can grow just about anything you want.  Oh well even though my gardening is limited I love where I live.

  1. Mountain Creek looks so charming and calming. Isn't it grand to have a steam run by your house? Your creeping thyme makes me sigh. I keep telling myself, "Soon..."

    Can't wait to see you!

  2. Thanks Teresa, I love my creek. I have a smaller creek that runs past my garden. We call it Evans Creek because it shows up on our land and disappears on our land.
