As usual I haven&#8217;t been feeling well thanks to my Crohn&#8217;s, but yes, I&#8217;ve still been gardening and so far this year I&#8217;m amazed with my garden.  I just need to start posting about what I&#8217;m seeing and doing more often, now don&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n<p>So &#8230; if you&#8217;ve been participating in Green Thumb Sunday or waiting around to see if it was going to start up again &#8230; come on, let&#8217;s see some Green Thumb Posts. (please).<\/p>\n<p>As I said above I&#8217;ve been amazed with my garden this year.  I think it started waking up in February &#8230; way way early!  By March 15th I had my first Crocuses blooming.  Usually they don&#8217;t bloom until near the end of March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_6716 by triciawd, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/4539737498\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"First crocus to bloom in my garden this year\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4020\/4539737498_f7269a8c31.jpg\" alt=\"First crocus to bloom in my garden this year\" width=\"450\" height=\"322\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was the first crocus to bloom in my backyard this year. It bloomed on March 15th!  Shortly thereafter more and more crocus popped up.  They&#8217;re all done now though.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago when I first started gardening I planted Snow Drops .. but I rarely ever saw them. Either they bloomed too early for me to notice or it warmed up to fast and they faded within days &#8230; unnoticed.   It was obvious this year that they&#8217;ve been growing, multiplying and thriving as I had a few large clumps come up in March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_6750 by triciawd, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/4539403363\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Finally caught some Snow Drops blooming\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2746\/4539403363_a504039e12.jpg\" alt=\"Finally caught some Snow Drops blooming\" width=\"450\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I even had a few tiny Dwarf Danfordia Irises come up too<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_6759 by triciawd, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/4540040760\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Dwarf Irises near the end of their bloom\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2765\/4540040760_f49e3133ef.jpg\" alt=\"Dwarf Irises near the end of their bloom\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re a little faded in this photo as they were already wilting by the time I noticed them. They didn&#8217;t last long.  We&#8217;ve had some warm weather in March and April which wasn&#8217;t all that good for making Spring flowers last.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a shot of my center garden bed &#8230; full of red and white Tulips, Heuchera, Astilbe, perennial Geranium, and tiny shoots of Phlox and Hostas and probably a few other plants that I&#8217;m forgetting &#8230; I took this picture on April 18th. I just wish that I&#8217;d pushed the hoop that I use to contain the Phlox when it grows down a bit before I took the photo!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_6764 by triciawd, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/4540043492\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Tulips, Heuchera and lots of other plants in the garden bed\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4013\/4540043492_e85c608900.jpg\" alt=\"Tulips, Heuchera and lots of other plants in the garden bed\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a wide shot of my garden. It&#8217;s small, but for the middle of April there&#8217;s a heck of a lot of plants up.  All of my roses have fully leafed out now and more and more plants are coming up each day.  Right now I&#8217;ve got Daffodils and Hyacinths that are just about finished blooming and I think my Glories of the Snow are pretty much gone.  I have a feeling that I&#8217;ll have roses about two weeks earlier than usual this year too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_6740 by triciawd, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dragonden\/4540029922\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Wide shot of my small garden - everythings coming up\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2804\/4540029922_2881f6a2db.jpg\" alt=\"Wide shot of my small garden - everythings coming up\" width=\"450\" height=\"268\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And Finally this is my dog, Midnight, enjoying some sun in the garden.
