Triple stem Paphiopedilum |
One of the things I do not neglect is a good breakfast before gardening. I normally have a big pot of tea but once in a while, make a French press of coffee for variety.

Freshly ground beans are a must |
Water just off the boil |

First sighting of the resident bunnies in the backyard this year. They don't seem to eat too much and are rather cute hopping about in the mornings and evenings |
Filbert: "Bunnies? did someone say bunnies? look how powerful my paw looks, good for catching bunnies" | It's a good thing for the bunnies that Filbert is an indoor cat. |
I also got my summer annual seeds planted. This year, I am sticking with the flowers that have done well for me in the past years: Green and White Zinnias, Nasturtiums, Cosmos and also some "White Eyed Susan" vine. I tend to loose seedlings to wildlife in the garden so I always start them in pots and keep them in the greenhouse till they are a few inches tall before transplanting them out into the raised beds.
