Spring Growth

Last year our winter season lasted so long that the spring flowers struggled to come up in early June, but by that point it was too late. None of our flowers bloomed last year. I'm afraid the ones that needed to come to seed won't come back up. My Black Knight delphiniums for one. I've had them come back every year for the past... 10 years or so. It may be a first if they don't do it again this year.



The winter was very cold this year, but it's finally starting to warm up again. It's not snowing much anymore, and even gets up to 55 or so some days. Our lilies are coming up really good, as is the bleeding heart. So there is hope we may actually have flowers this year.





Ooh! And I'm wanting to replant my garden in a new design. One of my magazines had offered several garden plans free this year. And yet another one had construction plans for several simple garden accessories (raised tiered flower beds, garden benches, etc.). So we shall see. Anything that can help draw me out of my funk and get me interesting in something (anything) again is a good thing.
