Tuesday View: Early Spring

desert garden, small sunny garden, tuesday view, amy myers, photography

This week's Tuesday View shows the South Border looking a bit bare with the grasses cut down and spring annuals not yet grown up.  But a few things reward a closer look: Narcissus in front of Eremophila maculata "Valentine" and a newly planted Penstemon parryi behind them.

And one rosemary in the hedge is blooming busily, making the bees very happy!

 

Linking with Cathy at Words and Herbs for today's Tuesday View!

    A lovely spring view Amy! Mine is still very bare, but I will share it again soon!

    So, you're feeling the shift toward spring too?! My garden is also looking a bit barer since all (or almost all) of the ornamental grasses have been cut back.

    Lovely to see the bee on the Rosemary, you would think that would lead to a nice flavoured honey.

    It definitely feels and looks like spring here, Kris, despite our late January cold snap. I think the angles of the sun's rays have changed a lot. We still have some rain forecast for the end of the week though!

    Thanks, Brian! Yes, I would like to taste rosemary honey! I'm sure in this case there are a lot of other flavors mixed in since, out of a whole little hedge of rosemary, only one plant is in bloom!
