Fresh fallen snow this morning. Remember my view from the kitchen window with the spring shot, here is the view with snow this morning.

You're a Star Red

 

Thanks, and yes it is something else. I know beginning of May I will be carting out at least 3 wheelbarrels of green that are spent plants so the "next" stage has room to grow. Yep, all the tall phlox sticks cut, the left over astilbies cut, the huge dried up leaves of hosta raked away, the leaves of the wiegela gone to the leaf pile, and not to forget, there are 7 hydranga shrubs in there. Two hummingbird fothergills, one mock orange shrub (the middle). Many hostas, lost count. And lots of bulbs.

The one issue I do have with the bulbs there is ---as I have planted those darling alliums, (of the onion family) the ones that shot up with a thin green first, I have to be so carefull, because there is some onion grass that loves it there also. Many times I 've had to chew down on one just to tell the difference.

 

Above are mini daffs blooming, the blue flower in the front are stargazers, both of these bloom at the same time as crocus, which are also blooming among these but off camera.

 

Garden walk around today March 21, 2012.
See my beautiful Almond tree, and some of the 60,00 daffs. The other green coming up are tulips and English canterberry bells. Still need cleaning out and weeding in the hill side. Still offering nice thick rib eye on the grill for any takers to assist. If not then you see my task this weekend.

 

Nice one Esther.

Carefull, you'll have Armandii round with all those cats

Love the bird song too. Its started up around here too now.

 

Little fellow was inherited from my father-in-laws yard. He liked to have fountains seems the fountain part is gone. But he is cute. Not sure where I will place him yet, for now on the back step.

 

Just checked glad to see my thread is safe and sound.

 

Oh his Fountain tackle is apparently in good shape too :-)
