Gardening: Weekly Growing Update
Spring brings weekly changes...welcome additions to the reawakening garden. This week the redbud is in full bloom, leaves on my Japanese maple are starting to emerge more fully and chives, clematis, allium, and bleeding hearts are budding out in preparation to bloom. My hostas, catmint, siberian irises and ornamental grasses are starting to gain some more height. And the astilbe I thought had died last year has started to come up, stronger than ever!

Gardening: Starting from Seed Update
So I'm sure you're dying to know what's going on with all of those seeds I planted...At the one-week mark (Saturday), I had some germination for a lot of the items.
The main seeds up on this tray are Jupiter's Beard. Some of the catmint has sprouted as well but I'm still waiting on the ornamental grass. I have another full tray of giant plume grass (covered in the background) that has yet to germinate...if it doesn't happen this week, I'll be pretty bummed.
The far left two rows contain some silver pampas grass babies, followed by two rows of status, and four rows of goldmoss sedum. The delphinium to the far right hasn't germinated yet...
This tray is full of various hollyhocks...most have sprouted.

Gardening: Weekly Growing Update
It's that time again...my weekly garden growing update. Here is what's popping up &/or blooming in my garden right now.
The lillies are up a few more inches...
My lovely lupines survived the winter (and have entertwined with Yucca that I need to transplant yet again).
And the peonies are starting to get nice and tall (they're my personal favorite...I've planted them in multiple spots around my property).
My herb bed is looking kind of messy since it's been overtaken by pussywillow pollen pods...I hate it when those things fall down and clutter up things.
My varigated ground cover has started to bloom (I forget what it's called...if you know, drop me a note).
And I have lots of random tulips (I think the squirrels planted some of these).
