Garden Update - March 1st

Since this is my first year in my new house, I'm going to try and take extra pictures as time goes by so I will have record of what comes up when - and also where. Since it has been so unseasonably warm I'm not sure how helpful the exact timing will be, but the order that things start to sprout should at least stay the same.

The Daffodils and Hyacinths started blooming around the circular drive Feb 1st.  I must have some mid & late season bloomers in the mix, because the Daffodils keep coming up.  The one's on the right are too close to the driveway and will need to be moved after they finish blooming. 

 
At the front walkway it looks like I have a line of day-lilies coming up.  There is no formal bed or edging, but I think this is going to be very pretty!

I have a rhododendronon on the north corner of the house that already has buds! 

I have some wonderful little purple flowers coming up in different spots all around the house.  I'm not sure exactly what kind of ground cover they are yet, but they're starting to make a very pretty carpet.

I also have a few yet to be determined flowers coming up.  I think the larger bulbs are tulips, but I'm not sure what the grassier looking plant is.  We'll find out soon though :)

That's quite a bit going on for the first of March!

  1. purple flowers on oval leaved ground cover would be vinca - either vinca major or vinca minor, depending on the size. Be watchful, this stuff can really take off and take over - good or bad depending on where it is.

    1. The flowers are half dollar size maybe? It's in the rock bed behind my house (not a good place) and in the section that will eventually become a patio area (good place). I think it may also be coming up on the north end of the house too, but I'm not sure yet. We'll see :)

  3. My daffodils are coming up, but my hyacinths aren't blooming. Yours are so pretty! And I love that line of daffodils. What a treat to be welcomed home in the spring like that!

    1. The best part about this is that I haven't done anything, haha. These are the plants that were already here. I am starting to play in the dirt some, but it's just weeding and I'm getting ready to start some seeds...that will be the test of how green my thumb really is!

Sooooo, the spammers have finally discovered my blog. I'm not sure if that means I've 'made it', but it does mean that I have turned on comment moderation for my older posts.
