Garden with Sand Stream

                               

This large garden has no pond or stream. Visitors enjoy the garden beyond the green lawn and the water in a square shallow pool reflecting trees and the sky. This architecture seems unique. 

The sand is reddish. Gardeners pattern streams and eddies forms by them. Some stones are set vertically. They might represent a mountain.
There is a stone path in the sand stream on which no one walk. I just imagined walking on for meditation. Where does this path lead to?
Beside the garden, this small building is preserved. The explanation says this is a farmer's barn in old days.

Let's start growing!

 

Moss phlox in my garden covers a little bit larger area this year than last year.
Blue hyacinths are tough.
 

This tulip didn't have a flower bud last year, just grew one big leaf. It is 50cm high and opens a big flower this spring.

We had a warm week in the early April. Asparagus began to grow.


I boiled them with salt and enjoyed the sweet taste of spring. What is your favorite cooking of asparagus?
