Spring

Finally able to do some spring planting. Everything was beautiful at the nursery this morning. Blooms and more blooms. Healthy vegetable starts, herbs, perennials, shrubs, and trees packed the hoop house. I kept my focus on the pansies and violas although why not take a look at everything.

Today was beautiful and crisp. Most of the snow has melted except piles on areas like outside my house and mounds made in lots cleared for shoppers to park. 

After removing the solid piece of snow now ice and the pine cones I can do my first planting of the season. The container was freshened up with potting soil.

Threw the tag away, sorry. They're ruffled of course. I think Razzle Dazzle or Fizzle Sizzle . The selection at Primex was beautiful but I went right to these although I ogled them all.

Tulips and narcissus to add to the container. I'll keep the hyacinth on the porch to enjoy the scent although I know early pollinators would love to visit it in the flower box.

They have frost bite.

On the porch.

Have to tidy up a little and mop the floor.

Yes I did buy broccoli starts. Yes I have one seedling that'll take until June! Until then, I should have broccoli in a few weeks. The lettuce starts were enticing but I didn't do it. I'll wait for mine. They even had trout lettuce one of the types I started.

My sister bought this for my tree outside. So today, on my 10 foot ladder I attempted to hang it. No luck. It'll do better nailed to the tree. Another day, but I'm going to get a larger one from the nursery. Never really thought of hanging a nesting box for the birds. Now I'm hooked. Can't wait to hang one and see if  a bird will use it.

Still showing off.

I've never had an azalea but the lady in pink wooed me.

For the living room.

My roses from the flower show  dried so pretty I kept them. I have another bunch at work. I'll save them for a wreath.

Hope you had a beautiful Saturday. Thanks for visiting.
