How my Spring is going, so far

No Tulips, yet, but it's a start.

1. So cheery!

My friend who used to live in the mountains covered a hillside with daffodils. She said it was the only flower she'd found that the deer wouldn't eat. It was gorgeous!

2. That's a pretty good start!

We have crocus, and it got pretty cold right after they got started. We should have daffodils in a week, maybe.

5. looks to me like the blue and white flowers are under a cedar tree, nt

7. The Blue Squill is right by a cedar. The Striped Squill is in a front garden

They both just sort of 'appeared' a few years back. At one time, there were Snowdrops growing where the Blue Squill is, now. The Snowdrops just kind of disappeared.

A number of my flowers are courtesy of mother nature. At least that's my explanation for their appearance. I have bird feeders in my front yard so by mid-Summer I'll have a forest of Sunflowers growing in front of the house.

10. I swear those look just like my Chionodoxa Lucilea. nt

6. Lovely!

What are the pink ones?

We have daff's, and tulips blooming, but supposed to be in 20's next couple nights.

8. That's a Hyacinth that I never planted. It just sort of showed up.

There's a purple one in the back garden. It grows right by a cluster of Daffodils. It's the north side of the house, so they won't bloom for a bit, yet. But when they do, and if they are both in bloom at the same time, it's a beautiful little display.

11. I love nice surprises in the garden!

How nice!

I'm doing the annual battle with evil monster weeds already. Have to take a pitchfork and try to life the mass off my lily bulb bed today. Getting a dump truck of cedar mulch next week, will put 3" deep. Die weed, DIE!

9. Hyacinth

I started with one, and now they are spreading in the front garden.

We're going to have a VERY cold night. Thursday through Saturday will be chilly, during the day, but not so bad at night. Then, starting on Sunday we'll be in the high 60's and low 70's. I'm going to spend Sunday puttering around in the gardens and seeing if I can get the mowers started. I think I'll be doing the first lawn mow by the end of next week.

This is my favorite season.
