Signs of spring


The forsythia in full bloom.



Some daffodils are up, but many haven't blossomed.  Wonder what's up with that?

Also tulips coming in the back yard, if they can survive the dog's running around after squirrels.

Glad to see the climbing hydrangea is looking good after the winter. It was buried underneath 5 feet of snow, it seems to have fared better than a lot of other plants.


The turquoise chips around the plant are shavings of Irish Mist soap. It is said to be a deterrent to dear, in this case I am using it to deter the dog.

They say "first year, they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap."  This is the second year for the climbing hydrangea, so I can expect slow steady growth.  It won't produce blossoms for at least another 2 years.
