great pics Dyane. They're all fantastic. but, i just love the crocus.
Excellent pics Victor, as usual! however, I don't see how that bleeding heart can be faded at all. It looks great. I'll take your sun as all of your plants are catching up to mine and surpassing them!! not fair. :-p
Garden photos of '09.....#8
Thanks. I did not mean faded, but not good lighting.
I must be in colder micro climate.
Not today, Jen!
Maybe the air and the soil are in separate climates????
lol... that's it!
LOL Victor... and stop with the photos... you are killing me
lol. This is still the only hellebore, that has lived at my place all winter, that is actually open yet. Mine started trying to bloom long before Victors, and now he has all sorts of colors blooming!
this one was up on the porch all winter.
After a very discouraging day, a hundred mature cherry trees where 'slaughtered' at a town park in Stamford, CT today as I watched. I am trying to cheer myself up with some optimistic springtime hope that they will not clear cut the whole Mill River Park to create another park. Ironic. Here is that purple hellebore I spoke about earlier.
Look what else popped up!
Glorious!
great pics Abby. Why did they do that to the trees?
i just thought that this was an interesting view.
euphorbia
a different euphobia.
hellebore micha again.
the other side.
This little hyacinth is amazing. It's a leftover from when houses were here years before this one. Those houses were demolished in the late 40's/early 50's. Nothing was done with the land for 50yrs. You can imagine my surprise the first time I saw this come up. There's two others next to it as well as a small patch of dwarf narcissus.

Your pictures are great as usual.
I cleaned up some spots and found Brunerria Jack Frost starting to pop up, we had temps in the 60's yesterday.
There is a milder forcast for the next week also temps in the 40's and 50's things should really start to pop.
I'm looking for hostas so I can move a few out of the sun.
I lazagnad the garden extention yesterday,can hardly move today.
Ran out of newspapers but have enough mulch thanksgawd.Its twice ground mulch, almost like soil.
Thanks!
My gosh... you've been going like crazy! It'a looking great though, and it will really pay off. I would be soooo sore if I had done all of that. Good luck with those hostas! mine rarely show themselves well until April. But, if yours are in the sun, they may peek up sooner. That mulch would be great! can you send a load my way? :-p
Just because I am looking for hostas now doesnt mean I know what I'm doing!!!!!
If your dont show until April I will just have to be patient.
How about DayLilies?
you never know though. If you've been getting consistently 50+ degree weather for the last week or two, then you've been getting warmer than us. I've still been getting snow, althought it melts by about 7 in the morning, about every other night for the last two weeks. We've been wavering between mid 40's and mid 50's for highs. Anyhow.... you might very well be catching up with me at a very fast pace! Ummm... my daylilies are showing about 3 or 4" about the ground now! So are my weeds!! lol
No sign of DL's here.
Nights are freezing and one day next week we will get snow/rain showers.
Its still dark here so I'll get out to look at DL this AM.
love the photos RC... that hyacinth is very cool
love your little guys Abby
Great shots, ladies! Congrats, Abby. Feels nice, doesn't it?
How cool about the little hyacinths. I love to see where old houses have been and the foundation plantings still there.
I have a few hosta noses poking up---no signs of DL foliage though.
nothing like that here either, it just doesnt seem right.
I fertilized the bulbs just now and things are pretty sleepy.
Jo Ann, I am simply blown away by the work you have done on that new garden area! Most impressive!
I'm dying today, every muscle I have and some I didnt know I had , aches like H---.
An old art saying
"Go Big or stay on the porch"

DL foliage next to the house is nosing through. Like all the other plants including crocus the ones away from the house are quiet.
ge - your better off getting back out there and moving around and get something done even if it is at half speed - you will "heal" faster that way.
I'm just in from cleanup / cutback and my back is pretty sore.
Glass of wine and a massage!
wish i was sore from yard work
Give it a few weeks, Bill!
