Blooms & Weeds a Few Weeks Later

It didn't take long for all the silver maple "helicopters" to start sprouting. But, a nice treat to see one of the plugs (Foxglove) already blooming -- a rare sight the first year in a perennial garden.

20 Bags of Mulch on the Ground

While my hope is that native violets will fill in as a living groundcover, mulch is needed in the meantime. I've labeled every single plant so that I will know what should appear where and to better inform my future weeding activities after a long winter.

Now It Looks Like a Butterfly Graveyard!

Between the way-too-early snowfalls and before the weather got really terrible, I was able to install some fall-ordered bare root plants (never again -- that was brutal!) But the spring version of myself will be thankful that I was able to add in blazingstar, heath aster, blue-stemmed goldenrod, all the violets (labeled) and all the extremely early blooming sharp-loped hepatica (noted with the popsicle sticks). I also put protection around the milkweed, as I've heard rabbits tend to nibble down early milkweed shoots. All the plant labels make it look like a graveyard, but I have high hopes it will be full of life next spring.
