Spring!

I've been as dormant as my garden over the past few months. But now it is time for us both to be active.

Lots of things blooming this early spring. Redbuds, dogwoods, and azaleas are all about to bloom. Hostas are starting to come up, as are many other perennials.

Yesterday we dug up a new bed (15'x9'). We plan to put in tomato plants and do some canning this summer. I also put in 4 rows of early spring peas. Digging the new garden resulted in about a dozen Aucuba bushes, which we have potted. I'll be finding homes for them.

I also have lots of Rose of Sharon seedlings to dig up over the next few weeks.

Ah, it's good to see you back in the garden and using this blog!! Robert has been working in our yard, mostly just cleaning out the millions of leaves left after hours of raking in the fall AND winter!! Living near a woods keeps those leaves around nearly all year!! He's done a good job and has cut back some plants well overgrown, so progress is being made here, too!
Tonight and tomorrow, however, we expect some SNOW. It is March...
Love you, L.
