What are YOU looking most foward to??

i planted a separate patch for them - they still break the rules and eat out of both then love leaving the once bitten fruit on my deck railings to mock me

careful what you ask for

i learned long ago they were asking for it!

Still working on the bedroom grdn collection

I think I'm looking forward to more of Joann's collages! They are so inspiring!

Wow a garden in your bedroom? Awesome!

DD would commit me

Wow I am looking forward to everything everyone said, my first thought was all the new stuff I planted of course. Especially the spring bulbs.
I am still laughing about Victor getting an all over tan! lol No wonder why those peepers in long jackets are by your pool!! ha ha

Another great grouping JoAnn. What a colorful garden you are going to have, not to mention how fragrant with all those pretty lilies. I am looking forward to the pics you will be sharing with us in the next few years .

thanks the collages are mental therapy

Love Tiny Ghost

I was given 'Tiny Todd' and 'Tiny Athelte' last fall my a lovely DG'er, I can't wait to see them bloom.
Actually I got a great package last fall....I had been offered to pick up a few Martagon for me that I wanted, all I had to do was send the money and postage. Well this wonderful DG'er figured she'd stuff my box with as much as it could hold since the shipping would be the same. She stuck in a several bulbs from her own garden and I was like a kid in a candy store when I opened it!
I believe this was the contents of the box......might have forgotten one or 2 as I don't have my notes handy.

Pink Giant
Serrano
Robert Griesbach
Tiny Todd
Tiny Althelte
Martagon 'Moonyeen'
Martagon Noid because I can't remeber at the moment.

Okay JoAnn your collages and specially that last pink and white mix, are making me really, really want spring to get here fast.
Pix that is a lovely thing that the DGer did. Gardeners are so great and what a nice list.

Well Pat, you prob. don't want to know what I just ordered.....add to Faraway Flowers.
My 'San Pedro' is out of stock so I substituted it with 'Dark Sensation ' then I added.....

Chiara , Santa Rosa , Vandella

Oh not fair! Now I have to go look them up except for Santa Rosa which I have already ordered. I cannot order anything else! Going off to drool only. ^_^

Okay those are lovely choices, drooled all over the place finding them. Are there some that are new because I don't recall a couple of them or missed them when I was ordering. They do have very nice lilies.

I thought the 3 different tones of pink along with some dark purple & white phlox mixed in would be pretty.

The picture conjured up in my head is looking very nice indeed.

Thanks everyone
They are going to be border lilies and interplanted with Hostas.

i applaud you folks and your lilies - i do not care to fight the little red devils - nice to see your pictures!

I have thrown away both gardening catalogs that came in the mail this week. Too much temptation right now.

Well I cannot wait to turn the clocks ahead again. It's only around 40 days away, then St Pat's Day with corned beef and cabbage, it will really seem like spring to me.

Yes, It is still dark early mornings.

At this posting Its really dark believe me.
The cats are at the windows looking into the dark.The last time they did this I found deer tracks in the lawn.

You should be still sleeping!

Cant sleep past 4 or 5.Believe me I hate it.

Oh, Jo I was up then I should have made this my first stop this morning, we could have been up together:)Anita

I have had sleep problems since June. Up about 3am last night & no sleep afterwards. Had breakfast at 6 & then slept all morning. wish it would do that at night.

Geriatric insomnia is a real thing.
I have tried to stay up later but it just doesnt work.The wee hours is when I do the collages.

Well, it's time for the Bud Shoot Out on TV. One more sure sign that Spring is not too far away.

How about that snow in the mid-Atlantic? OMG! I feel for them!

Thanks Candyce.

DH is looking forward to playing in the snow tomorrow with the grandkids. He wants to build a snow cave to rival any snow cave ever. (Hope they appreciate his engineering skills)

Ohhhhhhh!
Post pictures! That'll be awesome to see! Please?

Yes, please tell him I'll be checking the specs!!!!!!

SIL was supposed to fly from Florida thru Philly. Guess not.
Hope he makes it for the game.

Great thread!

I truly look forward to the warmth of the sun on my face and one of my very favorite things is to have coffee in the morning on the back deck. But what really gets me excited, is seeing the first green shoots coming out of the cold ground in the Spring.

This picture was taken mid April of '09 and it is the first shoots of Lady's Mantle.

Oh ya the first day you can take the coffee and do the garden walk through, with the birds singing their spring songs and the sun just rising up in the sky but the warm is already getting started for a lovely spring day. What could be better than that?

could only be better if someone would pull the spring weeds for me!!!... but coffee in the yard is what I could count days for

me too.
I was walking to the mailbox and the sun does feel as tho its getting closer.

The sun does seem a bit stronger, now. It's just not any warmer - yet.

I'll wait til after it's made. I don't want to pressure him or anything. He's going over this afternoon. hee-hee. Don't tell him I told you, but he and another engineering buddy built a big wooden box to hold something (I forget what) and ended up having to cut it in half to get it out of the basement.

Ooh, a cuppa joe on a walkabout in the garden sounds great. Maybe I'll have to cut some forsythia branches and bring them inside.
