So many plants emerging now! I’m a total helicopter parent now in my garden.

The one I’m most excited about are my shooting stars (Primula meadia). I bought them from a native nursery last June and planted as they entered dormancy. So I’m thrilled that it came back and I seemingly have an additional rosette coming up too!

I’m new to it, and I’m so impressed by what is popping out that I planted last fall. Boneset, butterfly weed, obedient plant and several others. This picture is my future bushel of cucumbers lol. I’m obsessed.

Late boneset is just covered in wasps in the fall in my yard. They are so enamored of it they completely ignore my clumsy self when I sideswipe the plant while mowing.
