Mid-Spring

We're about a week before the annuals (860 of 'em) go out to harden off, so we're nearing the end of the bulb season.  Unfortunately, my old camera died peacefully as its flash capacitor broke, so I purchased a "new" one, a Canon PowerShot SX160IX.  It's the latest PowerShot I could find that I liked that used AA batteries, since I have many, many rechargeable ones.  So all future shots will be with that camera.

But, as always, simply click on the shot to enlarge the image to its fullest size!

Indoor gardening is going well, with the hibiscus regularly pumping out blossoms this year.

The plants are growing in the cellar and have about a week left before transporting outside for another week to harden off.  Then they go into the ground for summer.

About a week ago, these were cheerfully looking in at the growing plants.

While these were looking in more hungrily than cheerfully...

The Jane magnolia is doing very well.  One blossom is here.  The tree has, perhaps, ten thousand...

I like the grape hyacinth.  These are planted in an impossible spot under a tree.  They bloom beautifully in late April and then go away until October.

I keep the phlox restricted just because of the shorter blooming season.  It's pretty when it blooms, but unspectacular the rest of the time.

And the standard lawn shot.  It's hard to believe it'll be time to give it the spring organic feeding shortly!
