Not much more to report at this time. I am starting a lot of plants from seed, both on the back porch and indoors, considering whether they can be sown outdoors or if they require heat to start. Some that are being sown are suggested to sow in January and February. That is going to be interesting to see if they will get big enough before fall.

I have almost finished removing the strawberries and violets. The Japanese maple was moved in the fall and the dead dogwood tree and many lilac suckers have been removed. It looks better already. Hopefully I won't be messing it up by trying to create a pretty garden.
The two peonies are beginning to emerge and the lilacs are now beginning to get their leaves.

birder ~ I am looking forward to seeing your white Hyacinth bean. Are you going to save some seeds for next year?

1. Lilac with reduced suckers, Iberis on the base of the lilac
2. From the other side of the fence
3. Anemone coronaria 'The Bride'
4. Some tulips planted in March!

The rock rose needs pruning again, as the snow has smashed it down. I will have to wait until it has flowered, then I can do it, otherwise I will cut off any or most of the flowering potential. It is supposed to snow again on Saturday. (It snows every April, but usually not a lot.)
