What's Blooming This Month-Marzo

The warmer weather has us outside planting,weeding, and tilling a second and much larger new huerto (veggie garden) so we had nearly forgotten to post the blooms for March.

This patch of geraniums have been in here for a couple of years and are still going strong.

These petunias (recognize the pot, Tom and Susan?) survive over the winter, and in a few weeks will be spilling over.

This ambitious climbing rose comes from a cutting our neighbor Martine brought from Switzerland and gave to the former owners. They wont last long but they'll completely cover the stone wall and make a carpet of petals.

Our first real crop of the season! Habas (fava beans) are very popular in Catalunya. Their creamy flavor make a great addition to soups, but young habas are delicious all on their own with a little parmesan.

Finally, our freesias are really blooming and spreading. 

Broom may be very ordinary but its yellow flowers are always welcome.

Thyme is normally lovely all over the campo at this time of year but right now it's really abundant probably due to the extra rains we've been having.

This shrub called Coronilla emerus sports lovely little "crowns" of yellow flowers for only a short time.

As ever, the Osteospermum blast into spring and keep going, and going, and going.

Hopefully, this winter blooming jasmine will fill out and cover a section of our new chain link doggie fence.

 

The rains must have inspired the oxalis this year because I was able to divide it for the first time.
