I worked on getting the garden in today and before I got busy I walked around and took photos! Beautiful day in South Texas!!
Michael's cacti is blooming, too cool...
Love these...
Front pasture...very pretty with a few bluebonnets here and there but not as pretty as the back pasture!
Dewberries blooming...
Pumpernickel...
The back pasture is stunning...Bluebonnets every where!

Prickly Poppy
It smelled so sweet back there...
I know I've been doing a good job taking care of the bluebonnets as every year they move further and further over and are probably covering 2/3's of the back pasture now. We don't mow/shred until the wildflowers have gone to seed, which is usually mid-june...
I spotted a wine cup amongst the bluebonnets!

I went over board with the photos but just couldn't help myself...
I have 12 rows planted in the garden and probably 4 more rows to go and then Fred uses what is left to plant his watermelons and cantaloupes...It's going to be another big garden this year. I put in more potatoes to can as that is what we ate the most of...looking forward to fresh vegetables!

You certainly do a good job in preserving the wildflowers. John's back yard here in town used to be covered until one year when they started looking bad he mowed them before they went to seed. Now he only has a few.
Thank you Paula. I love them and love taking photos, so I do everything I can to keep them going and going strong. It is hard not to mow until mid-june and they've gone to seed but I know the end result will be worth it.
