as the flowers start to bloom, and the plants grow it should fill in nicely
Sciccarella, Those are lovely tulips. Are the early or late ones blooming now? The last of my lates are fading now.
I'll change the picture,three weeks has changed a lot
new shot
nice Scicci!
besides your beds being so pretty GE... between you and Jen I drool over your flat properties
ge, your garden decor items are lovely.
Thanks, not everyones taste but I love sculpture with plants.
onewish, those of us with flat properties would just love to have a sloping rock garden or running stream!
I was thinking the same thing! : )
Me three!! ^_^
This is one of my favorite emerging plant photos. It's a siberian Iris, but I don't know it's name.
These are more of the same, but planted a year earlier.
Do the spears keep that purple color?
I would be happy to swap with any of you!
No, ge. By summer it's mostly gone, but I enjoy it while it's there.
Here's another plant I was looking forward to emerging. It's a daylily, "Golden Zebra", new this past fall.
Pretty leaves. Love that vareigation.
mine are all coming up some are allready a foot tall looking forward to seeing them bloom they are all so different and beautifull
I was really busy at work this year & didn't get out into the gardens until the 1st week in April. This is what my roadside bed looked like then.
Here's that bed in the last week of April.
LOL, Yea, and I've been too busy this past week getting ready for Holly's swap to take photos. Now it's one big sea of green spent daff blooms and masses of daff, tulip & daylily foliage and encroaching grass to be pulled! Did manage to pull the Creeping Charlie away from the edges after work last night.
wow love all the tulips Stormy.... that was a lot of work
I just love to see all the pics since not much is happening in my garden yet lots of green stuff and few tulips and daff hoping to see more in the coming weeks
scicciarella, That's one of the things that attracts me to the NE forum, aside from all of the fun folks. In Midatlantic, I'm the Canadian!!! Everybody in Maryland & virginia and even South Jersey are a month ahead of me and lots of the plants discussed won't work here.
Of course, I envy your Lupines, Delphiniums and Indian Paint Brush. Southeastern Pa. doesn't really fit exactly into either forum, but it does permit a large range of plant choices.
Stormy those tulips are spectacular!!
Thanks, Alison & Pixie. Two years ago, that bed was planted with white and white & red striped tulips. There are actually a couple thousand daffs in there too, but the yellows were spent by the time the tulips opened and the whites are all shorter and don't show up in a long shot.
There was an explosion in the vole population here 2 summers ago and those suckers ate all of the tulips. These tulips are all planted in Permatil. They did eat most of my Iris that were planted between those trees this winter. I can't figure out how to protect the Iris from the voles. I have a whole lot of Iris out front that I'd like to move to this bed, but at least out front, so far the voles haven't found those ones.
that's terrible.... do those sonic things work?
Not for me.
that's too bad... seems like such an easy fix... until it doesn't work
Allison, I know. RCN was all excited because she just bought 2 of them. Wish I knew, could have saved her the $. I trashed 4 of them.
GE, I too love to mix all sorts of objects in my beds. I went to an auction on Monday and found a couple of interesting ones. I've been moving these guys around here and there trying to find the best spot for them. I'm still undecided. Maybe I should elevate them on something. What do you think?
They are nice. They look like theyre talking about the garden maybe place them at the edge of the path where one could see what the conversation is about.
WELL... Stormy, what I think is that you should bring them here. ^_^
They are just great!!
GE, You are right. At the auction they kept calling to me, saying " take us to your garden"! I'll look for a really nice plant near the front of the border and point them toward it. They are about 18" tall.
Jan, they told me that they decided not to relocate to Jersey as they couldn't afford the taxes!
Stormy, ROTFLOL. I'm glad I didn't have any liquid in my mouth when I read that. Amen to the taxes! We would like to relocate as well, someday!!! Away from the I95 corridor.
Jan, I know all my Jersey friends are coming here or going over to Delaware. Glad you didn't turn into a living fountain!!
Oh my gosh...too funny!!!!!!
