It's only March 14. The tulips in pots have fat buds.
I hung the hummingbird feeders today for the early scouts. Normally I would wait until the very last days of March, but it has been so unusually warm the advance males might be coming through early.
I cut back some more perennials, including the epimedium foliage, but I am leaving the grasses for now. They still look good, and their tawny waving forms are the only bright spots around right now.
As I have been digging around, I noticed little tiny leaves on the oregano 'Kent Beauty' that I planted out in the soil last year. I think they made it through a winter here, although this was a mild one. Each one was in the wrong place for what I was doing, so each got moved, and I hope that didn't do them in.
I set up and organized the potting bench today.
Moved and divided a few of the geranium wlassovianum from the very edge of the bluestone walk back a little (into the open space now vacated by the blueberries). With the blueberries gone, there is more room, and they were reaching over the walkway too far.
I put out the windmill and the direction sign.
And --- there are seeds popping up under the grow lights in the living room!! Only five days after sowing, a few sunflowers are peeking up and the linaria (very, very fine sprouts) are up. Now I need to leave the lights on for 12 - 14 hours every day.
