The sun came out yesterday. Not something that we see very often and it can be a bit jarring on the senses after so much grey weather. Here's the overall view of the garden taken 03-23.

It's been a while!
I've let my gardening blog go for far too long... but i hadn't realized that it's been an entire year. Last March was much different than this year. We continue to be in a long stretch of cold weather punctuated with snow storms. We are forecast to have another snow event tonight dropping 5-8 inches of the white stuff on my emerging garden. In the meantime, the snowdrops have been in bloom and the winter aconite continues to spread with its cheerful yellow flowers. We have seen one honeybee at the aconite. I wonder how it will be for them this year.

Garden Progress- March 17, 2012
Unseasonably warm temperatures (30 degrees above norma)l for two weeks time is catapulting the garden through its spring flowering. I vascilate between doing my early gardening clean-up and being fearful that we will get hit by a snow storm that will have me wishing that i had left some protection for the plants.
Yesterday i did end up clearing away some debris and ended up with another by-product of a mild winter... a tick... gotta be ultra diligent about ticks this year.

First Snow- Garden View 10-29-11
I didn't have a chance to do my fall garden clean-up before the white stuff made an appearance. I managed to get the statuary that doesn't stay outdoors inside... but i just drained the rain barrel today. oh well.

Golden August
I really need to get some plants that bloom in late August. Currently, the day lilies are in their final phase and the brown-eyed susans are in full bloom... but i have a lot of green spots that need some color. Any suggestions of August bloomers in a zone 5 garden?
