Central Texas Gardener producer Linda Lehmusvirta is participating in Bloom Day, which started a few years ago by Carol a garden blogger in Indiana. Every month, on the 15th, people from around the country and even from around the world, blog about what is blooming on that day in their gardens. Each blogger then sends an email to Carol, who then posts the links on her blog.
Linda was up early to take the pictures of all the things blooming right now. You can see her post about it here at klru.org/ctg/blog
