Happy Spring!!

March 24, 2012 by Christina

The red flowering currant is starting to bloom at the edge of the forest near the garden and you know what that means:  Mr and Ms Rufous are back!  
They love this flower and every year around this time, its bloom signals the return of the  rufous hummingbird.  
No wearing my red jacket in the garden anymore.  They’re attracted to red.  The sudden buzz of these little winged creatures approaching from all sides is so startling!  Wearing red is good for getting a closeup look of the feisty little darlings in action tho’!  You might want to try it sometime  : )

About the Garden

Christina’s Garden is a small market garden on Mayne Island, one of the Southern Gulf Islands located in the Salish Sea between Vancouver and Victoria, BC, Canada.

We put love and care into producing a variety of delicious and nutritious shoots and microgreens for year round sales to Mayne Islanders and folks in Victoria and on the mainland. We also offer a variety of home grown vegetables, seasonal flower bouquets and bedding plants for home gardens at our roadside stand and the Saturday Market on Mayne Island.
