morning light coming through flowers of harry lauder walking stick.

i'm visiting my brother today; here are some lovely crocus in his garden.

The main garden today.

Joe Joe near the square garden, which we just rebuilt on sunday. RR ties are heavy!

we're blaming the painters for the burst pipe! Here's how the trillium are doing!

here's another teaser; this arisama blooms in july.

luna with her new bed, and covered, as she likes


Joe Joe's feet. He prefers the couch.

the deer have trampled the hellebores and nibbled the day lilies down to nubs, but apparently these dwarf iris are not tasty enough!

my sister had the great idea of posting my garden's layout, so here it is!

Here's a teaser for spring! Omphalodes, a woodland favorite of mine!

this new planting of crocus is soldiering on despite uncharacteristically cold march weather.

the dogs playing in front of my main garden. you can see the some of the daffs are ready to bloom. today i planted lettuces in the raised beds, and found 3 little carrots that had survived the winter!

the hellebores were frozen this morning, but this evening, they look great
