My Garden Happenings

Here's a peek at what's happening in my gardens right now (and probably yours, too):

Daffodils are in full bloom

Garlic Chives (ornamental, non-edible)

Peony eyes are starting to show

Iris foliage of all types are growing like its the last half of April

My oriental poppies never really died back this winter... I'm hoping for a good show from them this year

I'm taking advantage of our out-of-the-ordinary high temps to start some of my summer bulbs (dahlias, non-hardy anemones, and brodiaea) outside in some nursery containers
Hydrangeas are also really leafing out ... A lot less dead stems this year on all of my hydrangeas.
If you haven't yet, walk through your perennial beds today and see what's happening... And make sure day lily and iris plants are uncovered and free of leaves and other debris.

New Life

It was so awesome to see all of the growth this weekend in plants... Irises and peoneas are just jumping out of the ground right now!

How can anyone not like spring and the new life it brings to us. :-)
