Spring has sprung! Several weeks of warm weather has encouraged everything to grow!
The azaleas are blooming and so many others! The perennials such as the day lilies are growing, too!
On the South side of the front yard is the euonymus hedge with Keria and azaleas.
The viburnum mariesii shasta
The snowball viburnum
And more Formosa azaleas and viburnum
Coral honeysuckle with a Kwanzan Cherry finishing it’s bloom in the background.
When I purchased the house ten years ago I plant a few cross vines on two pine trees. They have covered the trunks but are so far up you can’t get a decent picture but the flowers fall to the ground as they age. On the left is Dragon Lady and on the right is Tangerine Dream.
A few Scilla are still blooming but the wood phlox will hide their dying foliage as they go dormant. The light in the morning gave everything a chartreuse hue in the garden.
And, of course, the typical Eastern Dogwood.
I did breakdown and purchased a flat of marigolds although the slugs and rabbits love to eat them. I will have to spray them with a pepper spray or one of those deer or mole castor sprays!
Tomorrow is another day…. to shop the plant dealers at The Farmer’s Market!
Arthur in the Garden! 
Your garden is looking great! Spring blooms are the best.

Oh spring has sprung here too Arthur, I have sowed out more chili seeds ( 8 different kinds no matter that we have the wrong weather for it here) – and all the other plants are starting to grow – wonderful time for gardeners 🙂

you made me laugh, new year, same Arthur, fell for the plants again 🙂 but I do that too, I just cannot walk past a plant display without taking some with me, it’s a harmless addiction really though, right?
Just got back from the garden center, with only 3! plants I am proud of myself..

THANK YOU – excellent idea!! Sadly I have some chili seeds growing on heat pads and a lot of flower seeds growing under glass, and I am already worried about what to do with the extraneous seedlings, cannot kill them, its beyond me. Might need to do some “guerilla plantings” at night under the trees on the road in our neighbourhood..:)

Hey Arthur. Looking beautiful in your garden. Have you ever saved your marigold seeds? They seed prolifically, are easy to gather and to grow next year! With that flat of seeds, you could plant a border of marigolds around your whole property.

Yes, in the past. Slugs eat them overnight so I stopped planting then but I am going to try again this year!
