I took a tour around the yard. So much clean up needs to be done. But things are looking good for having been away from home for a month. THANKS TOM!!
Some daffodils are flowering!!
I am home and it is spring!!!!
I see new leaves are starting to grow on the brugs I left outside. Some have old leaves still!
Big Yella! He will be in bloom in a month I bet.
Some like Butterfly and ForeverMorr do not look like they were over wintered outside at all! I had these in protected places like next to a fence or on my patio that has a lathe top. They already have new big leaves.
I have a lot of rot on the ones more out in the open.
and a lot have their winter white leaves
Glad you got home OK kell!
and glad its spring for you
I only have a few more months till spring.....LOL
Glad you were happy with what you came home to kell...it is lovely here in CA. right now...
I was up in Concord today & realized I drove right past your town!

Thanks!! Did you wave Margie? LOL
Some like this HG that was left out in the cold, has creepy bark now, but no die back.
My brug garden is a bit scruffy but no die back or damage. And to think I almost cut that huge tree down thinking it would not make it being so tall. I see lots of flowers in my future. LOL
My Snowbank, is on my hoophouse. It looks great.
Kell, your Brugs look better outside than mine do inside. Wish I lived in a much warmer climate. Glad Tom did a fantastic job for you while you were away.
Red is fantastic.
loves winter! She has lots of buds!!! I am going to start taking cuttings in another few weeks when I have a better chance of success.
A Monika better be a double seedling has Yed and Yed again!! LOL LOL
Sadly, inside lots of my smallest babies died. And most were very, very special and unique crosses. Thye were in 6 packs and must have dried out too fast for a father type. LOL. BUT................. next year
Looks like Tom did a great job for you Kell .... bet he was glad to have you back home.
My huge banana that towers over my house, is a bit beat up.
though the heart is healthy and happy and oh so big!
Funny how my Tibouchina urvilleana trees did so much better than my brugs. They are still flowering!
Glad you were able to get back home Kell and had some nice things blooming to bring you happiness.
Glad to see you are back,I know how you love flying.
Thanks Donna and all!!
Come on over for some vodka limes!! LOL. My rangpur limes are ready to be picked.
Glad your home safe Kell! Thank you so much for the tour of your yard! I'm so happy that you'll have blooms very soon :) I'll be thinking of you during your surgery. Take care. (((hugs)))
Oh Root, I survived. I tell you it does not get easier with each trip!
My last picture is one of hope. A bud!!.
Thanks Kristi. You are always such a friend.
Kell, I loved all your pictures, but especially the banana series... just like many people, the outside gets a little beat up, but the heart is still happy and healthy and big! That's what it's all about, riding out the storms with the hope of Spring.
I hope you will have time for peace and rest for you now, and Mother Nature will continue to give you the helping hand you so deserve. ****

PS, do you think anyone would notice if I flipped my zone upside down from a 6a to a 9b?
Kell, glad you are able to be at home and that your Tom took good care of things for you. Sure wish sometimes that i could leave brugs outside here in this area. We had a very cold first two weeks of Jan. and now warmer than normal and much drier. Take it easy and take time to enjoy the daffy blooms. Donna
man, I am having zone envy here. Still cold, gloomy and snow in the forecast.... Your pics look great tho and gave me a lift!!
Your 'renewal" and rejuvenation from your garden and plantings is a joy to share. Absence does make the heart grow fonder!
WELCOME HOME KELL, so good to see you posting, sorry about your indoor babies but knowing how you are I am sure they will make it, I hope your Mom keeps doing well, you take care of yourself too.

Hi Kell, welcome home. I enjoyed the tour of your yard. Those babie seedlings look like they still have some green, maybe they will come back. LindaSC
welcome home Kell. great tour and pics. Marie
Your plants outside look better than mine inside. But it is much colder in my winterhouse than it is in your garden lol
Welcome home!
Such wonderful signs of Spring!
Glad your home, and enjoying your nature walk thru your yard. That is some banana.
Kell

Dick
Better late than never (ME!!!) I am so glad that you're home! You will continue to be in my prayers for a successful outcome to your upcoming procedure. I hope you have a chance to get some rest before then!!! Hugs, Gretchen
