It’s time for violets and lilacs!
\nOur yard is full of violets. There are places where it’s only violets! We have traditional purple violets, and white ones and pale blue ones. There’s one stretch of what is laughingly called “lawn” that I’ll have to ask DH not to mow until the violets are gone.
\nThe viburnum growing where the drive meets the road is in bloom, and the scent is heavenly! The cold\/cool weather has prolonged the tulip season. I’ll have to make note of where they are so I don’t kill anything off when I reorganize the gardens this summer. We still have a few daffodils, and the clematis is trying to work it’s way up the arbor. I’ll have to go out to set up the twine that encourages it on it’s way to the top.
\nI forgot to check my winter sown seeds, and the heat got them all one fine day. I’ve just about decided where I want tomatoes and lettuces to go….and I’d better get that lettuce in NOW!
