Garden Report

We thought we would have an early spring but it turned cold.  Today was great.  The forsythia are in bloom but that's about it.  They are really scruffy looking and have never really recovered from the beating they took two winters ago.  It's great having some blossoms, but if they don't do better, we need to replace them.

This past winter we lost the Shrub Althea on the south side.  It was big but started to die last year and then fell over in the winter.  Wayne dug it up.  We need to make the planting spot larger and then replace it.

We uncovered the four rose bushes and they all have some green on them.   There is lots of weeding to be done, but the weather is really warm and wonderful--about 70 degrees today.
