Those are the words that best describe what my garden looks like after suffering through a long, cold winter, especially in its unfinished state.
Let�s take a closer look:
This is a hydrangea. Can you tell?
The miniature yellow roses have seen better days:
As have the coneflowers:
I can�t even find the butterfly weed that I planted last summer. Oh where, oh where could it be?
Then there�s the lilac tree that got a huge haircut before winter. We�ll have to see how it grows out this year.
The front of the house is no better (there are three hostas somewhere in that mess):
It�s just as messy (but empty of plants) on the right side of the house:
This little section has bulbs planted in it (tulips and daffodils) that I�m looking forward to seeing soon:
When I stepped closer, I was surprised (and worried) to see some growth:
I�m not sure whether this happened in the fall or if it�s recent. In any case, I hope the flowers emerge without a problem. I�d hate for something to go (or have gone) wrong with these bulbs.
Anyhow.
Things look pretty bleak out there, but it�s much too early to get out and build a garden. Spring is rolling in, though, so it�s just a matter of time before I�m out there digging in the dirt. There might not be much to look at right now, but you just wait and see what I do with this place come planting time. I�ve got plans people...lots of plans...
Oh, and while I was out front taking photos, I felt like I was being watched. Seems I was right. There was a little face pressed up against my front window, watching my every move...
Oh my, looks like my windows are in dire need of a good cleaning...
