The March Garden

March is an exciting time in the garden. Almost every day, we have new blooms. It’s mostly crocuses and snowdrops, but after a long, cold, winter, they are welcome.

These guys are all along the front walkway so they are a nice pop of colour right up front. I was starting to get a little worried. Only yellow ones were coming up – but I know I have purple and white as well. Finally, some purple ones popped up on the weekend.

Around the same time, I spied these little guys.

These are my Winter Aconite. The first fall we were here, I planted five or six little clusters of them. The following spring, all of them came up. But last year only two little clusters. Now it seems there’s just this one. This one does seem to have multiplied. Hopefully it will hang on and spread. The bees do love these blooms.

Speaking of hanging on… the snowdrops in the catio yard have survived Lemmy’s outdoor gymnastics so far. These were planted to second fall we were here (2022), and I’m happy to see they’ve noticeably multiplied. There’s a couple smaller clusters in the catio as well.

Last I’ll leave you with another shot of the pink pussywillows.

They are really putting on a show this year.

    So many pussy willows!! Our crocus are up, but I have not seen our snowdrops. Daffodils are up and budded, but ho blooms. Yesterday I spotted some hyacinth shoots, so it won’t be long now!
