Another first.

Yes, something I haven't done before is happening in the garden. I planted some artichokes recently. Got them from a friend that didn't want them in her garden any more. And I thought, why not. I planted on a fairly ok day, but right after we started to get more cold days and nights again. Got me a bit worried. So I'm happy to see that at least one of them is still alive, and apparently growing. Hope to see lots and lots of babies here.

The garden ninja.

This little fellow. Cuz you never see him coming. Google translate says it's a "King bed ( or meadow ) Lily". He's so easy to miss while growing up. I moved him from the grass last year after we found him. We only saw him because he was blooming. Before that, it just looked like a weed or thick grass. 

I know there's a white one out there in the garden somewhere too. I had a look too see if I could find it and move it into this flowerbed too. Would be sad to see it lost, but I couldn't find it sadly. But until next spring, I'm gonna try and see if I can get some seeds of this one and plant some more. Would be awesome.

Random picture day, Clematis.

I'd say it's a bit early.
But if she want's to bloom, I'm not gonna argue.

Surprise in the kitchen.

This isn't mine. But I thought it was cute.
I was in the kitchen yesterday waiting for the dinner to get ready, when I found this single little pink flower growing under a big leaf. The flower belongs to my step father, he got it last year on his B-day.

African Violets, the babies.

My two latest babies are doing awesome. So happy to see more flowers on the pink one. And the blue one has started to bud up too. I guess I won't be here when he blooms. Gonna have to ask my mom to take a pic of it and send me. Still awesome. <3
