amidst a flurry of activity.
My company is gone.
The yard waste container has been filled & refilled.
The rose standards have been brought out of the garage, re-potted with new potting soil,
and watered well.
They may end up back in the garage, it is only the end of March, but once it's warm for good, they'll be ready to go!!
That makes me feel slightly ahead of the "game" this year ~ instead of behind like usual!
We'll see how long the feeling lasts...
Everything else was given a big drink along with the roses,
which was a good time to review the garden.
Peonies are up everywhere.
Along with daffodils,
and more daffodils.
A thankful thing, since the bunnies have eaten EVERY tulip in the garden except for what was planted in containers.
So glad I took the time to do that last fall, else there would be zero.
Above: Tulip bulbs & perennials overwintered in garage, I think they were happy to see daylight!
Hellebore 'Phoebe' is also up and blowing everything around it away....
My favorite Hellebore by far in the garden.
Plus there are a few crocus but far less than there should be???
I know the ones in the front garden were eaten by voles. *sigh* Working with nature is a process, isn't it??
So many more signs of life, but I'll stop there because this girl is TIRED! After I rest up, I promise to return with more updates....
Meanwhile, Happy Spring everyone!!! The season we've all been waiting for is upon us. Hallelujah! We made it thru another winter! :)
Another great blog! So exciting that Spring is finally here. I am in love with your Phoebe Hellebore - mine is pathetically small and I'm just hoping to see at least one bloom on it this year. I'm so glad you planted tulips in containers - darn bunnies! Won't be long before we start our annual greenhouse hopping and I can't wait!

Happy Spring! That hellebore is gorgeous.

That Hellebore has my heart thumping! They have to be the most amazing plants ever! I gave up on Tulips long ago because of the rabbits, but maybe I'll plant some in containers like you did. My Hyacinths in containers performed pretty well, even though I wasn't here to see them when they bloomed. ;-) You are way ahead of me this year. Our high today is just above freezing! Better weather next week, and I imagine plants will be bursting out all over! Happy Spring!

Phoebe is gorgeous! I happen not to have any hellebores but I would make an exception for that one. I love the color and the freckles.
