Some horrid white flowered weed is taking over the front yard, while the purple flowered weed is taking over the back yard.

02 Apr 2009Everything leafing out and weeds EVERYWHERE Backyard gardenOh my word, a few rainy weeks and the weeds have taken over the back yard. The “lawn” is basically just weeds.

02 Apr 2009It's Alive!! 1 1 Clematis 'Fireworks' Breaking Dormancy and Front Yard gardenWow, what a surprise, my clematis seems to have made it. This plant did not thrive at all last year, I’m afraid it might be in too much shade. I thought it might be a no show this spring, but was happily surprised to see it up and growing.

15 Mar 2009Looking great- why can't I get a picture! Rosemary Blooming and Herb gardenMy rosemary is in bloom right now and has been for several weeks.

13 Mar 2009Favorite plant in my garden!?!? 1 Hellebore 'Brandywine' Blooming and Front Yard gardenThis time of year my hellebore is a big contender for favorite plant in my yard. It is currently blooming its head off and has been for several weeks. The entire top of the plant is covered with blooms (need to get pictures!) and the snow didn’t seem to effect them at all. It has more th...6°C / 43°F

13 Mar 2009Daffodils blooming daffodil Blooming and Front Yard gardenMy daffodils have been blooming for several weeks. Not all of them seem to be back from last year and somehow I managed to totally forget about planting any more bulbs in the fall. The snow and ice hit just as a bunch were blooming, but they seem to have rebounded from that fairly well.7°C / 44°F
