plans & wishes.....

Category: a new year | Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2010 3:01 pm

beautiful day today....the sunshine gets your mind thinking about what you want to do this spring & summer....i'm getting anxious about new plants i started last spring & summer.....will they have made it through the winter? i bought a shrub last spring...wine & roses weigelia....it sits in the corner of my back yard by the fence, and will be the backdrop of the new flower bed i was supposed to do last year....it's going to be beautiful (the shrub...i'm still pondering the outline of the bed).
this spring is going to be a divide & replant spring...lots of things to move..got waylaid last spring & had to put everything in the ground in a temporary spot just to save them...they all grew very well all summer & are now covered in snow, resting well, i hope. yarrow, & some bleeding heart & astriana. i love the foliage on the yarrow...and some shasta daisies in the wagon that sits in the middle of the yard....(that is a whole other subject - the wagon- & maybe will write about that later).

can't wait for it all to unfold!

I hope you will post some photos in the Members Gallery of your garden waking up this spring.

This is the time of the year that is the hardest for me. Waiting to see what comes back and what doesn't.

I had transplanted some Yarrow to a sunnier place last fall, they had just gotten their roots established and were putting out new growth when the first freeze hit. Those sweeties have stayed green thru the ice and snow in Dec and the 10 inches of snow we had earlier this month

I hope your weigelia is fine! I like hearing everyone's plans -- a dividing kind of Spring! Sounds great. I am anxious to see what has made it through the winter too.... I planted a very sweet little rhododendron (my first ever) last summer. Yesterday I moved some of the heavy wet slush the had smashed it down flat to the ground and it is slowly perking up.

Sound like fun. I have nothing to divide this year but maybe next year I will. My daughter rents a little house that has a yard like a jungle tho. Lots of vines and I am going to rob here. Her landlord said I could take some vine startings. Not sure what they are but one is a peppervine and is really pretty. How exciting .. can hardly wait!
