Tulips, and crocus, and snow bells a-rising…..
\nDaffodils are making lots of headway, and I can see chives from the kitchen windows. The oregano was greening up under the stalks that had wintered over. I can see the lamb’s ears beginning to shape up. They’re not just a mound of sad-looking leaves any longer.
\nI planted six specimen plants under one of the front windows, and I can see two small plants greening up. Unfortunately, I can’t recall just which plants they might be. I know there’s foxglove and phlox but I don’t think these little plants are either of those. I’ll have to wait for bloom and mark them.
\nThe ox-eye daisies that I have been ripping out of my flower beds are coming back, especially where they are growing among old iris. I didn’t want to sacrifice the iris just to pull out the daisies, but their time may be coming!
\nThe iris have very nice new leaf starts on them. I need to walk down the driveway to see if the new iris I planted have made it through the winter. It would be a good time to check on the peonies, too.
\nI have a mound of mulch that I want to spread over the gardens, and I should get some Preen out there where I don’t intend to plant seeds.
\nI love Spring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
