I am starting a new one for this year.

We came from The thread "CeCe's garden" in Midwest Gardening forum

We started the month of March like this..............................




Then we got some pretty warm spring and summer-type weather. Things started popping way too soon,,.

Added this, this summer. Had to put this together, some assembly required Phillips screwdriver only. Yeah right, My trusty hammer sure came in handy.


Fish went in the pond........


Hellebores and daffoils



Sweet violets and they didn't want to stay in the garden bed and jumped to the lawn............

Forsythia in bloom and hyacinth out front..................



Blooms in beds I haven't gotten to yet...............



I planted this last May. First time bloom for me a Weeping Cherry tree........



I just planted this Flowering Quince 'Texas Scarlet' last June and has flower buds on it...............

My hubby decided a different look to the fire pit.

First one is my brother-in-law getting it going and ready for gravel

Last two: finished project for him. I see it needs way more color is needed.....................



Cleaned the sun room out of plants yesterday and put them all out n the patio. Its raining today so they are getting a good drenching, Mostly brugmansia, but also other things as well.

Lovely, CeCe. Gardening is a lot of work.

More from the end of March.......




First fire in the new pit, hubby fooling around, and one view of the back yard.
