First Batch: early March
Second Batch (this post): mid April
I'm intrigued that there hasn't been all that much progress from the vantage of my (admitted cell phone) camera.
Up close, there's a lot more green at the base of plants - and the water in the pond/fountain is running faster. But, compared with all the spring-floral gardens that surround it, this one is a little, um, staid.
Never mind. There are many advantages to late blooming, yes? My love for this patch is constant.

Spring is such a short, albeit lovely, period. I think there is still hope. It is such a lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteSeeker: Walked by it recently and, already it's really improving. Must take another batch of photos soon...
ReplyDeleteDroll: Let's here it for the late bloomers. They bloom for that much longer!
D.: Sounds awesome. Send a photo.
Diana: Have you seen this site - I thought of you immediately:http://www.doorsixteen.com/2009/04/22/garden-plan/ I only wish she'd post more frequently!
Summer: Thank you. It is a beautiful space...
Solo: Beautiful garden is one of life's greatest treasures, I think.
Mardel: Oh yes, there is. In this climate it needs another month to really bloom. I'll show more photos soon...
There are so many great blogs posts about gardening lately, yours included. I guess it's spring.
ReplyDeleteThere are many advantages of late blooming. Wait and see.
Pictures will wait until the 'taters come in.
ReplyDeleteBel: I know. Wait till I tell you about a new site I found - gardens and amazing design galore!
ReplyDeleteD.: I can wait.
You can never go wrong with shrubs and greens- they come back, year after year, one thing I miss about being in Cali- things seem to bloom year round "sigh".
ReplyDeleteGJ: Oh, I know. That is perfect - year round green. But don't you feel that much more thrilled now when spring comes (having lived through miserable cold for a few months?)
