Last night I noticed that the bloody dock and dwarf bleeding heart have returned!  (Wow, with those names, my garden sounds ... like it might need some band-aids, huh? :P)  My tiny little lilac is covered with buds as well.  I'm still waiting for my Rip Van Winkle daffodils to actually bloom - they have buds that have been slowly opening for about ( Read more... )

The daffodils are just starting to peek out of the ground. :)  They're about half an inch high at this point.  They're planted around the outer edge of my concrete walkway.  I'm very excited about them, yay! :D ( Read more... )

While doing my end-of-year accounting of events and accomplishments, I discovered that I planted enough plants in 2008 to warrant their own list!

I am counting down the hours until I get to go home and finish mulching my flower bed.  *taps foot impatiently*
