Naturalized Daffodils

5/17/2019

Spring for me starts when the daffodils are blooming. I've been enjoying mine now for about a week. In the last few days I have shared four bouquets from my garden, the first bouquets of the season. My goal this year is to have something new blooming every couple of weeks and being able to share with friends. Daffodils start the bouquet season.

This is a typical time for my daffodils to be blooming. They have been as early as late April in 2010, but that year was unusually warm.

Who doesn't enjoy the call of the loons? Our loons are quite vocal this time of year prior to nesting. They are swimming around the artificial nesting platform in front of our property. Last year I received a question from my neighbor about what to plant on the platform. And after a bit of research I provided him a list and am sharing it in this post.

Pruning Hydrangea

Yesterday my husband and I drove by a new store that recently opened. He commented on the plantings from last year; “looks like they have a bunch of dead shrubs.” I take a quick look and identify them as hydrangea with last year’s dried blooms not yet trimmed away. I inform him that we have the same in our yard.
