my garden

Yay! Another post...thank you nap time. I was able to get into the yard this morning and take a couple pictures of the beginning of my garden this year. I have a lot of weeds to take care of, but I will get there. Enjoy!

Here is a beautiful yellow tulip

 An Anenome Snowdrop.
 Yes, here is one of the nasty dandelions that I will be pulling out very soon.


 One of my clematis vines.

 The power of nature. This asiatic lily pushed right through this leaf.

 My Gold Heart bleeding heart.

 A heuchera-I wish I could remember which one it was...

 All my hostas are up and full except the Hosta Patriot.

 My parents gave me a Jack in the Pulpit last year. I was afraid it would not come back but here it is!

 Another Heuchera-Yeah, another one I can't remember, but the leaf color is intriguing.

 The raspberry bush (ok, there are only two canes) from my sister-in-law.

 Our Hat Trick apple tree. A budded apple tree that carries three varieties. Unfortunately, half the buds have died so I am going to espalier a Honeycrisp tree right on top of it.

 It looks like just weeds, but really it is all poppies. I can't wait for them all to bloom.

 I cannot wait for these peonies and iris to bloom.
 Some beautiful and super smelly lillies. I can't remember which ones these are either...

 The corner garden. I need some more sunflowers along the short fence this year. In front there will also be a water feature by the end of the summer.

I had to have this plant when I saw it in the new varieites! Sedum Thundercloud! Sounds impressive huh, but this little guy stays close to the ground.

 The first plant that I HAD to have! Hydrangea Great Star, just wait till you see pictures of these flowers!

 Good bye dandelions! The front yard is about half cleaned out.

Front garden. I love my Euonymus tree!


Hooray for spring!
