    Some of my pics from moms yard (of my plants :D) These were taken a week or so ago, so the plants are probably bigger now. Ill go by the house tomorrow and take more pics and update, but I wanted to get these on here or Id keep putting it off :D Looking at these pics now I realize I should have had some clippers on me to remove dead stuff *lol*

    Sedum (I think Autumn Joy...or Autumn Fire? Gotta find the tag)

    Bearded Iris. Again I dont remember the variety (I really should create a document on my computer for this stuff, eh?). Just planted this last fall, I think the pic on the package was a pinkish/tanish top with darker purple(black?) bottom.

    Lilac 'Primrose' (Pic is sideways, sorry. Tried to fix it but it wont o_O). Will bloom yellow (at least it will if the nursery sent the right variety lol). Planted it last spring so this will be the first year it blooms :D

    Up from the sleeping earth spring flowers greet a warm day. What more could a gardener ask from mother earth? The pansies seem to be enjoying having their faces in the sun. Thanks for the spring pix.

    These fotos look so good, Bip. You are getting off to a good start. It looks like you are about as far along as we are here...maybe a wee bit further.
    I can't wait to see your plants when they are flowering.

    Those are leaf buds, the flowers come a little later. I think I posted a pic last year of it and my pink clematis in bloom (didnt see any leaf buds on my pink today *worries*), If I find it Ill put it here :)

    Love seeing the photos of the emerging plants! Hooray for spring!! Your plants are about the same as the ones around here, just beginning to wake up and starting their growth. Love this time of year so much!

    Daisy, I would much prefer they stay OUT of the garden :eek: Today I had an almost full bag of garden soil, took it out back cause I was going to fill in holes in the berry bed that Marley dug (which means she climbed over the chicken wire fence!) and went to drive my sister to work. When I came back, the bag was in shreds and soil everywhere, none salvageable :'(

    Mmm hmmm, I had a feeling that was the case... that's why I asked! They do look full of mischief. Who was the culprit today, do you think? Or did they all pitch in?

    Could have been all of em, but I especially have my eye on Marley, cause she's the newest and doesnt know the rules *evil eye*
