First daffodil shoots have emerged. Tree peony has some gorgeous buds. Hellebores have a couple of buds which I should probably put some protection around. But yeah! Another garden season and my first one as a Master Gardener
It’s started
Tag / spring daffodils first emerge
Great Friday
Cool but sunny day. 5 feels like zero. At 16:30 it’s 12 degrees on the balcony. Signs of spring everywhere. Lilac buds are swelling, the catskins have shed most of their pollen, daffodil flower buds are showing, snow drops in bloom in paces I didn’t expect.
Moved another peony that has been trying to move out of the shade of the Sycamore by itself. Pruned the two burning bushes (I know) in preparation for my cedar backdrop.
I put up the summer compost basket to let the big one focus on finishing what’s already in it. Gave it a quarter turn. The mass of worms is impressive. And that earthy smell…
Springing success
Thrilled to see the daffodils emerging. It was a real old time winter. Snow and cold. But it’s spring and onwards.
How I Know I’m a Gardener
This little patch of daffodils is always among the first to emerge and every year it’s always exciting!
