Here I would love to share with you our travels and adventures as international mushroom consultants. MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Commercial Mushroom Cultivation Education. His practical handbook is in 9 languages and is called the MUSHROOM BIBLE: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2020/08/modern-mushroom-growing-2020-harvesting.html

After the rough summer of 2011 with extreme heat and drought, the garden is not looking its best this spring. But I would love to show you the masses of our Scilla campanulata, also called Spanish blue bells as they originate from Spain and Portugal. For better images, look at my post from last year, link is below this post.
Nestled in a bed of fall leaves...
Close to our gazebo and walk way...
This photo is from Saturday, the dogwood blossoms start falling off and the pink dogwood is still holding on to its blossoms, see to the left in photo.
Nice to see new green though! This is the view from the breakfast area from the bay window...
Anyone interested in making our Garden Tour + Tea/Coffee in the gazebo: Book an Event.
Spring has come with such a force, that we almost went straight into summer... The magnolias got browned by frost in early February but for the rest we've enjoyed lots of blooms. The latest performers of the Daffodil Season were our white Thalia Daffodils, like the 'wings of an angel' and also called the Orchid Narcissus. Certainly one of the loveliest of all daffodils. You can order them in the fall atMcLure & Zimmerman←click it. As an added bonus, they're also highly fragrant and they bloom with two or more flowers on each stem.
Do you favor white or yellow daffodils?
Too bad that in our area there will be none left for the Easter Season...
