snow again!!!!!

Seriously! Not again, just let me enjoy the spring in peace. Rain I'm okay with, but snow!!!
What is under the snow is kind of exciting. My daffodils are about 2 inches tall although I swear I planted more than that there are only about15 coming up.
Don't forget to plant crocus this fall.
Red Jade Crabapples at home depot...front flower bed?
all pansies in first state of bloom, finally.
bought some johnny jump ups just for fun.
Need lots more spring blooms in front and back
How about forsythia.

snow, snow, snow, it won't be long!

That is from the movie white christmas, one of my all time favs just wanted to remind myself that in the future when I forget where that is from.
Last weekend winter rallied and we got 6 inches, pretty good, but it has been so warm that it is all melted off by now. Still no real promising signs of green or blooms yet, not even the forsythias are blooming, not even the willows tops are yellow yet. That is the first sign of spring by the way: note to self. May let Jesssica Miller dig up my pussy willow to use in home show. Not sure if she would though.

Only Nerds Write Garden Journals

Spring is in the air...almost so I thought I'd better make my garden journal into a blog that way I will maybe use it more. I may also start collecting my garden articles. Sort of interteresting writing articles even though nobody reads them; now who knows.

Dec: Realized Lights strung on deer food helps keep them away. Peculiar-must do more research.

Jan: Didn't see most of my yard (Snow) Especially the vanderwolf pine and White pine the deer ate to nothing, and I mean nothing.

Feb: Warm, suprisingly, still no signs of life, note to self need more winter interest, that isn't deer food. Deer also ate Laurels...I thought I had out smarted them...hmmm

March 1 2010: 56 Degrees and sunny. Awww went and bought seeds, peas radishes and spinich cabbage and lettuce. one blue pansy blooming. Little sprig coming up from hellaboris. Note to self more early, and I mean early spring bloomers needed.
Still debating on if I should do matching crab apples in front entry beds. I think so. Also probably some kind of Purple Beech in front of garage...pendulum or columnar that is the question.
Weeping Pussy Willow starting to glow Yay!!!!
