In the last few years, my garden has mostly just been "happening." I keep it weeded, thin things out a little, maybe move a few plants around, but mostly I leave it alone.
We're still largely under snow here, and have had several small snowstorms in the last week or so, but in between Spring is coming!

Crocuses...
Tulips...
Lion's bane...

Like so many northern people, I have been dying for colour. Our world is still dusty gray brown from a foot away. This is colour you don't see until you're out specifically looking for it--and then it almost makes you cry.

What gorgeous photos Zoa.
ReplyDeleteYour garden sounds like a well-established, well-managed natural garden!
I admire the brave crocuses and the dear little lady bird. The seedums are lovely close up.
Happy Spring!
