Well so much for the first week of Spring, huh? It’s been cold and it’s getting colder! We actually turned our furnace up half a degree yesterday because the house was just too cold.

I’m dying to see my garden beds again. So far the snows melted off a bit near the house and I can see a portion of my smallest garden bed. Of course it’s so cold that there’s no signs of life there yet.

I guess it will take until Mid May or even early June before I see a scene in my garden like the one above. That’s Columbine growing behind one of my hostas. It almost looks like the flower belongs to the Hosta doesn’t it?

As you wait for your garden to wake up what plants are you most eager to see growing? Are you planning on adding any new plants?
