The first crocuses!!!
I decided with temperatures predicted to be near 60o F today and it already
being 61o F, I needed to go back outside and sweep and clean the dog run, pull out some more vinca and begin to assess the spring showings. Not that there weren't showings already, but as I was sweeping the fallen soil and leaves and debris westward, noticing that there were smiling clumps of vinca grinning out at me from between the landscape timbers that I have decided to replace with an idea I saw I think in Lee Valley garden tools. A brace of sorts that holds stepping stones verticle that you attach a top piece to make really decent raised sides on a garden box. Suddenly a soft mother of pearl blue caught my eye. Blue?? I stopped and focased on where I saw it and YES!!!! The first crocus!!! WOO HOO!!!!! This excited me to the point of stopping my sweeping and I ran over to the Colorado bed and sure enough, there was another clump of grassy leaves and a YELLOW one. ALRIGHT!! Although it seems a bit late for my crocuses to be just beginning, I am pleased beyond description. And add to that the fact that I with the warm temperatures today, my Cornelian Cherry tree will burst open today. GBSEG Spring is on it's way here in Eastern Tennessee!!! madgardener up on the sunny ridge, back in Fairy Holler, overlooking English Mountain, zone 7, Sunset zone 36 |
