The weekend before this past one, my husband and I ran up to the State Farmers' Market in Raleigh. I love visiting during their spring craft fair (which ends up being my yearly visit). Last year, my neighbor and I went for veggies and came home with crafts only.
This year, I went for crafts and came home with plants and honey. It always surprises me how that turns out.

I got a few blueberry bushes (that are covered with blossoms!) and have them in the ground near my new garage (It's still new if it's a year old, right?).

I had to move my apple tree away from the garage and am so excited because this is the first year it will blossom (and I didn't kill it when I moved it.... my normal M.O.).

And this was my prize. The Ann Magnolia. Stands about 6 feet tall and is planted next to the southern magnolia. I can't wait until next year when I get the full force of his bloom in my yard.

Those flowers are ever so pretty!

Are you adding to your gardens this year?

I love Farmer's Markets, they're so much fun ! Have never been to a really big one though, it would probably over whelm me. :D
It's great that your apple tree survived being transplanted and your new blueberry bushes should really fill in as they become more established In a year or two you'll have blueberries galore. Blueberry pies, muffins, jams, jelly, or just fresh and sweet straight off the bush. I would love to have some in my garden but we're too far south for them to grown well. :(
The crowning glory of your garden has to be your magnolia tree, those huge pink blossoms are magnificent! What gorgeous photos.
I love these magnolia flowers! Best of luck with the blueberries. Spring is so wonderful! I spent a lot of money on shrubs and flowers last year so this year will be spent pampering them. :) ~Val
