Spring!

This is an amazing time of year for a gardener! Everyday brings new surprises. The weather changes from day to day, sometimes hour to hour. We’ve had temps from 80 to below freezing in the last week. Some plants thrive on it, others suffer and get set back a bit.

The daffodils don’t mind at all, they love the cold. I can’t remember the name of these pink ones. I also have white Mt Hoods and cheery yellow ones blooming in different beds.

The Hellebore White Lady that I planted last year is doing great, eight blooms! The 80 degree days took a toll but I think they will only get better with time. As I understand it, they spread and that’s my kind of plant!!

This is a view of the lower pasture through the ornamental pear tree. Spring burning makes for lush green grass.

    Ruth, is the name of your pink cupped daffodil prehaps “Salome”? I had those in MO and the name has lodged in my brain. Guess I need to get some for AR. I have many lovely daffodils blooming now. The ‘old fashioned’ ones are finished, but the hybrids are stunning. Gwynette

    My grape hyathinths (sp???) have gone amok! The forsythia is almost done blooming but has been bountiful. The redbuds and dogwoods are just starting to bloom. The grass is green and needs to be mowed. Haven’t seen any deer in the ravine yet.
