Almost Spring

Happy March. Some spring color for the porch until the bulbs emerge.


From the second hand store.

Soon to emerge.
Primrose

Hope the hyacinths planted in soil do better than the ones forced indoors this winter. They didn't do good at all.

Winter is not over. Still getting snow.





Will they make it?

From the produce market.




From the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Some of my seedlings. Vina. Plant 3 packs and this is what survived. Very disappointed.

Lettuce, container tomatoes except sun gold, chives and sage.

Only 1 dichondra seedling of 10 seeds sown.

It took a while but the lambs ear has started to germinate.

A few chocolate mint coleus and a few dragon wing begonias.

Pansies and violas.

Snap dragons in the back and stock in the front.

Marigolds have done poorly with only 3 seeds germination. I'll sow some more.

Didn't sow these. May wait until next season.

Direct sown in a container outdoors.

The next few bulbs are from Home Depot. Healthy and less expensive than at the Philadelphia Flower Show on Sunday. Also healthy and good sizes.


A few pictures from the flower show. Sorry for the poor quality. Hard to take anything with so many people on opening day.















Still to sow.
Time to start cleaning up the garden soon and digging in the soil. Have a wonderful gardening season.

Not Again

 

The blizzard arrived as predicted. It's night time but looks like day light. Don't look forwards to tomorrow morning when I look out the window.
