| Lovely daffodils so sunny and bright!! These popped up as soon as the snow melted. |
 |
| Lynwood Gold Forsythia came into bloom and so far gets better with each passing day - the blooms will soon be replaced with a restful green that I love in the hot summer time. |
 |
| Flowering Quince. This has been a slow grower but is stunning this year! |
 |
| I planted a Variegated Privet at the same time as the Flowering Quince - it really took off! |
 |
| I love stone! I cleaned out this flower bed that has Drift roses, Loropetalum fringe flower shrubs and a few daylilies. I just added the stone to define the bed. |
 |
| Went Snapdragon shopping. I didn't get any seeds sown this year. |
 |
| Purchased some tomato plants as well - Heirloom varieties - Cherokee Purple and Rutgers. I'm planting them in pots this year to see if I get a better yield. For last couple of years the tomatoes didn't produce much. I've never tried the Cherokee Purple. |
 |
| New azalea that I bought for the front yard. |
 |
| Elaeagnus shrubs are still progressing for my living fence. I am still replacing a few at time that didn't survive the heatwave we had in 2012. |
 |
| The snapdragons are adding some color to the garden. I think we are having a late spring. Usually this time of year the heirloom variety of iris are blooming. I don't have buds on ANY of the iris yet. |
 |
| Bridal Wreath Spirea Shrub. This is new to the garden. My experimental shade garden under the large cedar tree had lots of plant deaths. I moved all the daylilies to a sunnier spot. All the camellias died along with a few of the azaleas. There are two remaining azaleas. |
 |
| Added some Blue Delphinium here |
 |
| Spanish Lavender |
 |
| Thought maybe this new succulent might grow around the stone |
 |
| Red Knockouts coming along - also a Redbud Tree blooming across the road |
 |
| A bit of whimsy on the well house |
 |
| Put a few Snapdragons in this bed |
 |
| New bird house I put on top of the clothes line. I love bird houses |
