Whahhh...mine won't brave the elements until late May..for now I'll enjoy cruising around the gardens on ~Bloom Sunday!~ Come see brave little early bloomers I posted in zone 6 Canada but bring a warm sweater!!Brr!
Hello, I have found your blog when browsing other gardening blogs and just had to comment. Beautiful pictures and interesting to see the same plants are blooming in your parts of the country as they are in my part of Germany.
Hi Naturegirl: I'm glad you came over...where, actually, a sweater would work here, too! Lol!
Hi Crafty Gardener: It won't be too long for you, I hope! I did get over and see your pansies!
Hi Kristi B: I've never had a problem with that with these guys. They are such low growers and really pretty much maintenance free. Of course, this is their moment in the sun...they look rather like a grassy mat later...which is fine with me...any space they take is some the weeds don't get! Although one caution, do get all the grass, etc. out before they begin their sprawl...I have one that has this unsightly grass growing through it and it is a pain to get out (now).
Hi Exile61: I'm glad you found me! I will have to come over and see!
Thanks everyone for the comments! Much appreciated!
passionate gardener (no!); former master gardener volunteer; daylily enthusiast; and aspiring novelist. I am totally, most certainly, quite positively not addicted to plants...addictions are things you need to get over...and, well, I have no intention of getting over plants! There!
I LOVE comments and want to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to post one. Please do not be offended if I don't respond right away...I will, hopefully, get back to you...before too long. Life gets busy and I don't always respond promptly. I do value your contribution, so thanks for coming over!

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed (preferably in my pajamas)

I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass, and tries to correct the error.

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

How lovely to see the ground phlox ... one of my favourite spring bloomers in the garden. My Canadian garden is just waking up!
What amazing color! Beautiful. How does this variety do against powdery mildew?
