Today turned out to be the most perfect gardening day of the year so far. Temperatures made it up to the mid 50's and I spent hours cleaning up the garden. At first I couldn't make myself start but thankfully I had just read Carol's post yesterday at May Dreams Gardens.
I did just as she said and took it one small area at a time. There's still so much more to do but I feel so good for what's already been done.
The 15th of the month is Garden Bloggers Bloom Day also courtesy of Carol at May Dreams Gardens. The first photo shows one of two large clumps of Crocus that were in bloom today.
The Galianthus (snowdrops) are popping up all over the place. I can finally see that there are seedlings in many areas Hooray!
Not quite in bloom but in bud are my Helleborus foetidus (stinking hellebore).
These are the last two of the yellow crocus that were the first blooms here of 2008.
Also in bud and ready for a few more warm days are the dark smokey purple Hellebores.
Finally, the lighting was poor in this corner but the Hamamelis (Witch Hazel) 'Arnold's Promise' was in all it's glory and smelled heavenly!
