Jim and I woke up this morning to this!!!! It looks really pretty but devastating for my poor roses that are starting to have new buds. By about 2pm, the snow melted away leaving behind a swampy looking backyard.
You can always count on crocus to indicate “Spring is HERE!”
My little flower at Uldale Pl
When we were in NZ, the house came with landscape maintenance. I couldn’t do much gardening but the landlord was fine with me putting in flower shrub at side of the house. Flowers just seems to thrive in NZ. I missed the well groomed gardens full of roses and pretty little flower borders. The wild flowers by the road such as flaxes and lupines stand tall and flourish without much help. I wonder how’s Tessa’s and Annette’s garden did this year…?

It feels like spring was a decade ago. I can’t wait to get my hands and feet dirty digging dirt in Spring. I’ve started some seedlings in my basement with a couple rows of growing lights. I have about 16 Snapdragon seedlings, 2 Rosemary, 1 cherry tomato and 2 cayenne pepper plants. Living in Illinois, I’m going to have to wait until after Easter for most of my plants to survive outside… oh so many moons away!!
