Default spring flowers

trying to show up. we will have thousands of daffodils
coming into bloom in the next few weeks. at last!
the earliest ones are the smaller/miniature daffodils.
i didn't even know we had those there. Ma planted some
stuff a friend had given her last year and those must have
been in that batch of mixed forced bulbs. not all of
those survive being forced and then planted.

the poor crocuses have been out, most of those outside
the fenced garden were bunny food. some are still coming
out.

the grecian windflowers aka anemone blanda are doing
nicely in their place. i will keep spreading those seeds
around as they get ready.

with the temperatures finally getting warm enough for
me to be outside later this week i hope i can get some
of the onion sets in if they are in good enough condition.
i haven't even looked at them yet. they're buried behind
too much junk in the garage.

and those apple tree saplings have to come out...
wild grape vines to cut back...

ah, good to see spring warm up enough to move!
