Tuesday Yardening

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today I raked the leaves off of the daffodil patch beside the driveway.  The daffodil leaves are hand-high already.

Tulips and daylilies are sprouting now.  Hazelnut has its catkins going.

Snowdrops are blooming.  :D

Yay spring! We have crocuses blooming, just a few, & the grape hyacinths are sending up shoots.

Well...

You're ahead of me. Crocus are sprouted but not blooming here, grape hyacinths have not yet emerged. But today I started raking leaf mulch off the tulips. They're leafing out, and the peonies are sprouting.

It's a ridiculously early spring here. Which isn't to say we won't have a surprise blizzard or two still -- it's Colorado after all -- but it's been almost scarily warm for the past couple weeks. I do NOT look forward to fire season this year.

Warm winter here too.

:( I hope we don't get another baking drought here.

Yeah, me too neither. :/ We're firmly into 'hang on for the ride' territory climatewise.

Alliums are peeping here.
