Hyacinths

Hyacinths I planted in pots did better than those I forced in water. Hoping they get taller and fill out. Smelling wonderful as they always do. Can't wait for the tulips to start blooming. Checked my lettuce seedlings planted in the yard a few days ago without hardening off. They're doing great. Too early for the variety of flower seeds also sown on that day to have germinated. I also sowed mini pumpkins and mini watermelon but I know they won't germinate until the soil warms up. What was I thinking.

Spring

Perennial salvia

A little color until the geum and iris start.

Put tulips I started over winter into the container and can't remember the name of the herb. Left a spot where coreopsis is emerging.

Primrose are huge. The other ones I bought were small. They'll go in the yard.

Narcissus from last spring. Pulled them from amongst the ivy to plant in the yard but didn't. I'll plant them in the yard after they bloom if they bloom.

My foxglove seedlings planted last year starting to perk up. Can't wait to see them in bloom.

Flower bed starting to wake up.

Daisy Mae Asian Aster discount from a plant sale this winter. Haven't decided where to plant it yet.

Honey Suckle budding out.

Daisy

Lily

Scattered seeds before the snow and they're starting to emerge.

Seedlings

The seed pack is not here but I think it's a blue trailing lobelia.

Vinca growing slow.

A type of rudabeckia.

Lambs Ear

Stretched coleus. Will put them the stem deep in the soil when I plant them.

Only a few begonia.

Stock needs to be up potted, soon.

Tomatoes and lettuce needs to be repotted into separate containers.

Coleus and 1 marigold seedling.

The leggy ones are snapdragons.

Pansies and 1 kong coleus.

Vinca again.

Marigolds are the tall ones and I have to remember what the other 2 types of seeds are in this container. Maybe when they get their true leaves.

Impatiens

Second planting of marigolds. The first only yielded 2 seedlings.

I like planting different types of seeds in 1 tray. Next season I'll buy more. When I went to get more they were sold out.

I think snap dragons are the 3rd seedling in this tray.

Late starting peppers. Still to start, zinnias and bringing the overwintered geraniums, begonias, and ornamental sweet potatoes out of the basement. Can't wait to get into the yard. I can really wait but I'll go out next week and put some of the pansies in containers. It'll be nice to see them when I look out my window.

On the Porch

 

Until the weather is more consistent, I can enjoy what's happening on the porch. 

Mulch for the yard.

Bought a hyacinth since mine didn't do well this season. Smells wonderful in the living room.

The yellow tulips smell so sweet.

Always love this color.
