My yard...through April 10th

So the frequent updates didn't happen as I had hoped
That just means this post will be full of more pictures, and so will the next one! :)

April 1st
This is the part shade bed, on the West side under the Cherry Tree.
There's not much to see now, but be paitent :)

This is the front (north side) of the house towards the west. In the middle is a white azalea and right by the bird bath is a leucothue

And this is the east side of the front of the house, again...not much to see...yet!

Here are 2 toad lily's emerging.
These are really cool plants for a shade/pt. shade area...they bloom in the fall which is rare.

Chris and I laid out the veggie garden

April 4th
Pt shade bed and lilac bed.
Gaura came back, liriope is looking a little sick but the daffodils are starting pop

Brunnera

New growth - Astilbe

Another astilbe returning

East side perennial bed

Cherry Tree, lilac, daffodils

April 5th
creeping pholx from my neighbor.
I had no idea what this was, I didn't figure it out until it started blooming

Brunnera and Daffodils

April 7th

Daffodils, Brunnera, creeping Phlox and wild violet

Daffodils, Rose Bush, foxglove
Azalea buds

Waldsternia, barren strawberry

Weigila leaf buds - I thought this was a goner...so excited to see life! :)

What a difference a few days make!

So glad my mom spotted this one - it's Frittileria, checkerbloom. I planted 14 bulbs last fall, this is the only one that bloomed :(

April 10th

Winter sown jugs that have germinated and transplanted Hollyhocks and Alyssum seedlings

Lilac bed with campanula, gaura, liriope, lamb's ear (transplatned from the yard!) and Brunner in the middle by the hose

Toad lily, Azalea, and bleeding heart

Astilbe

I finally spotted new growth from my Tiarella!
