We Have Roses!

"Big and Bursting" could be this year's garden theme. The planting are now three years old, and some of them have turned into real space hogs. Here's a little month-by-month of how we got to where we are today.

March

The crocuses debuted this year, and they did not disappoint.





We had a rare 80 degree day that shortened their bloom time, but the daffodils were not far behind.





These snowdrops and hyacinths have been here since the house was built.







I put these in the window box for a few weeks of color.



"Old Faithful" forsythia also put on a wonderful show.





April

Then it was tulip time.















The lilac gave us a few blooms.



The shade garden sprang to life.









May


One new addition~



The rhodie ushered in the pinks.









We have roses!
