Dew on Iris. #dew #iris #irisleaves #backyardgarden #morninggarden #morninginthegarden

Nature has a way to surprise me. I monitor all nest boxes in the garden once a week to make sure that there’s no House Sparrow nest in there. What I found when I opened this nest box is a nest I couldn’t identify. After years of observing bird nest, I can easily identify many types of bird nest…but this nest is a mystery. Until a buzzing sound came out from the nest. A queen bumblebee decided to make a nest in there. I wondered how long it took her to build it, definitely within a week. #bumblebeenest #nestbox #bumbelbee #backyardgarden #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorfriendly #insect #springgarden #naturalgarden

‘The Earth laughs in flowers’🤣 Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Food…Asparagus finally came up. I wasn’t sure at first if they will come up since I added more top soil on them. The compost I put on annually was reduced down to a very thin layer in the raise bed so I added some top soil which I thought I might have buried them too deep in it🤔😬. But, they finally came up. #asparagus #vegetable #vegetablegarden #backyardveggies #growyourownfood #organicveggies #growyourownaspargus #freshasparagus #perennials #perennialvegetables
