However, it really makes me giddy when a new contributor feels encouraged to share more updates after their initial feature on the blog. So, when I saw these spring photos come in from Margaret Onken in St. Louis, Missouri I was over the moon. Margaret first shared some beautiful late-summer color from her garden last fall (Check out that submission: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/article\/late-summer-in-margets-st-louis-garden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Late Summer in Margaret\u2019s St. Louis Garden<\/a>), and today she is back to give an update on how spring is looking in her landscape so far.<\/p>\n<p><em>Good morning, GPOD! Spring has sprung in St. Louis and the garden is coming to life! Thanks so much for sharing photos from late summer last year! You really made me feel like I knew what I was doing!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07124625\/GPOD-Onken-8-sun-garden.jpg\"><\/a><em>The sun garden is bursting with green right now. This year everything seems to be blooming a few weeks earlier than last year. The weather has been all over the place and I think it has confused the plants! We built the first raised beds 14 years ago in the backyard and have added more through the years, finally topping out at 16 beds. I like the organization for the vegetables which is how this garden started and they love the hot St. Louis sun. I have beans, radishes and arugula &amp; lettuces from seed and tomatoes, squash and cucumbers from nursery plants. I also plant potatoes every year. I have to rotate the beds as the tomatoes and potatoes wreck the soil, even with new compost every season.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07124622\/GPOD-Onken-7-phlox-beds-Pig.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-229337\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07124622\/GPOD-Onken-7-phlox-beds-Pig.jpg\" alt=\"bright pink carpet phlox\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07124622\/GPOD-Onken-7-phlox-beds-Pig.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07124622\/GPOD-Onken-7-phlox-beds-Pig-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07124622\/GPOD-Onken-7-phlox-beds-Pig-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/a><em>The carpet phlox<\/em>\u00a0<em>(<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finegardening.com\/genus\/phlox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phlox<\/a> subulata,\u00a0<em>Zones 3\u20139)<\/em><em> is always glorious, cascading over the wall with gusto.
