Blooming in my yard? glad you asked

here's a little video...

a beautiful coloumbine, sweet williams, jacob's ladder, poppy and peony buds, alliums galore, irises, daisies, ganzanias, and a happy cat. did I miss something? got questions? let me know.

Dean has become an awesome photographer, I appreciate being able to take advantage of his work! Our garden looks even better when he takes the shots!

Raining, again..... nice that we don't have to water, but the ground sure is saturated and we have some plants not fairing so well with all this water... like the caladiums in the backyard... they are drowning. I think I might have to pull them out of the ground and temporarily into pots. We'll see how they look later this week, if I can wait that long.

A little garden sadness

Snow, wet wet snow, is falling on my garden today. with temperatures hovering around freezing this week is just not good on my plants. all those daffodils and little lillies starting to come up? we'll see. my guess is it won't be a good year for them this year or next. and the tulips that had budded? well they are done for.... alliums that were halfway up and not budded, we'll see. I think over the next few weeks, my big tasks will be adding bulb fertilizer all the way around. with hope for next year. with all the damage wreaked by the freezing temps, that greenery won't be supplying much nutrients to those bulbs!

good news? some very pretty birds have found their way to a new feeder I installed outside of my window by my computer. I have been comforted by a pair of cedar waxwings and a pair of cardinals. gorgeous views on a snowy day.
