So it Begins... Garden 2007

So it's March 24th and i'm anxiously awaiting gardening season. I try to hold myself back from cleaning things out too soon. Just last week we had a heavy snow to contend with. Today feels like spring is making its way into western PA. Temps in the 50s. ahhhh... it's been a pretty rough Jan-early March... extremely cold. So it's nice to see the small flowers peaking on through.

Currently blooming:
  • Snowdrops
  • Winter Aconite-- i planted them two years ago and i have noticed some that didn't grow last year are up this year.
  • Mini-daffodils
Closer to bloom:
  • Tulip
  • Daffodil (larger varieties)
  • Trout Lily
Also bursting through the ground:
  • Daylilies
  • Iris
  • Sedum
  • Columbine
  • Lupine
Deer have been munching on:
  • Iris
  • Daylily
  • Chicks 'n Hens
  • Sedum
So i've taken the wire cages from around the trees and started covering the things that the deer like best...
