spring is springing!
Last night I noticed that the bloody dock and dwarf bleeding heart have returned! (Wow, with those names, my garden sounds ... like it might need some band-aids, huh? :P) My tiny little lilac is covered with buds as well. I'm still waiting for my Rip Van Winkle daffodils to actually bloom - they have buds that have been slowly opening for about a week. The hydrangeas are starting to grow leaves as well. Well, two of them are. I'm a bit concerned about the third one. The beautyberry and Muskogee crape myrtle still look like dead sticks poking out of the ground. No more crocuses have emerged, so I guess the squirrels ate them all. :( And I need to dig up the muscari while I can still tell where they are, before I start mowing the grass again.
