Wakey Wakey!

I'm growing impatient. I shouldn't. Been at this gig for a while now, yet this is the first spring where my patience is wearing thin. My shady garden is still asleep and it's the last day in March.

I am thankful however for a newer addition to my little backyard. Last spring I bought myself:

Heuchera villosa 'Citronelle'

It was buried under 2 feet of snow at one time and right now it's the only plant that catches your eye. Whilst every other plant shows signs winter stopped by, this one says "Look at me!".

Definitely going to divide this one or maybe just buy one or two more. :)

I have hope! My Hellebore flowers are beginning to swell!

The flower buds almost look like Rhubarb!

Hello Tulips!

Thursday's weather is calling for rain. "April showers; bring May flowers". YES! :)

Watering the garden in March

Helleborus x Gold series

I honestly cannot ever recall having to water the garden in March. I looked outside this morning and saw my Helleborus Gold flowers drooping. 

Thankfully, they perked up again.

Mini Narcissus " JetFire "

I'm not sure what to make of this early spring. I enjoy seeing the garden come alive...

Sedum telephium " Autumn Joy "

Blue Scilla

It's so strange having to water my partly shaded garden. Can't imagine how full sunny beds are fairing.


Given the way things are turning out,  I will start mulching and adding more compost to keep up moist levels.

Thankfully there is rain in the forecast later this week.

I figure, the garden is in the usual stage of late April early May already. Wow...

My Brunnera macrophylla " Variegata " has reverting leaves. Wondering if the heat and the strange winter/spring has helped to cause this reversion.
