How Does Your Garden Grow?

I posted a picture of the Crocus and Daffodils under the apple tree on Monday. Look how much they've grown in six days. I also noticed a couple of squill coming up in another area of the same bed. No sign of any of the 150 "perennial" tulips or 150 (new) daffodils I planted. Most of the daffodils are still hidden under several inches of leaf mulch. And I am assuming my tulips are slow in appearing as I planted them quite deep-- 10-12". I think next weekend I'll start thinning out the leaf mulch.

Today I planted 36* little purple and purple/white Pansies in our front window boxes. I also put the top layer on Mom's second raised veggie bed and re-hung the rain gauge! Hum, no rain forecast until Friday.

*Karen would say I over-planted.

Jacob's Ladder that I thought I had gotten rid of a few years ago. Xteen dug it up from my yard but apparently it really wanted to stay, and spread. I'm letting it "naturalize" in an area where it seems really happy...


Sedum I got for free from a co-worker...


Hmmm, my garden map does not show there are tulips in this location (!). I think these are Monsella Tulips, planted fall 2007...

Eyeliner Lilies (asiatic), planted fall 2008...
