Waiting Out the Rain

Jake tried hard to wait while I was doing a health check on Linda's Allium patch but Jake is really no good at waiting so this Serenity Now pose did not last long. These days I can empathize with him about waiting things out, especially as today, in the early afternoon, rain clouds arrived and stayed until dark... bringing rain with them. I will not wish the rain away though because I do remember when it was dry. They are equally bad garden problems here. On the bright side, I found two wild rose growing along the bush edge at the front. Right where I planted them. Still exciting though because I have been planting them what seems like forever and although wild rose grows prolifically all over the bush edge, it never seems to want to grow where you actually plant it. I was delighted to see it is finally taking.

The Sun Showed Up

Planted some annuals that were in danger of expiring in their starter pots, got most of the glads in, weeded and refreshed the mulch at the Chiminea. Started early this morning so I could get Mikaela and Yehoni walked before I drove Nicholas to school. It was a beautiful sunny day but not too hot. Perfect gardening day and it is supposed to be the same tomorrow. I am starting to forget what the inside of the house looks like ;)

Spring Shoots

Spring shoots are up everywhere in my garden ! This allium, along with lily-of-the-valley, tulips, siberian iris, narcissus, and tarda, are some of the bulbs that are up. The tarda are in bloom with the lily not far behind. I am still not seeing all of my new tulips but I am seeing enough of them to keep me hopeful that the rest are on their way. I can see delphinium, coral bells, and columbine coming but the only other blooms today are on the wild violet. Such an exciting time of year...
