Our temps are in the 50s this week and green is popping up all over the garden. From the looks of the Tete-a-Tete Daffodils, I will be seeing yellow very soon too.

“March”ing into garden work…
March is a bit of a tease around here in Zone 5b. Giving us great weather – making us sooooo tempted to jump fully into spring work. However, I know how much winter loves to show up unexpectedly in March demanding I practice patience for outside work. I will be picking up debris, slowly cutting the perennials back … and walking around the garden, planning and plotting and refining all my “big” ideas into manageable goals! Oh, and visiting all the local garden centers constantly! Needless to say we are on a first name basis!
Most of all, I intend to take time to enjoy the work of the real Master Gardener as he brings it all back — taking note of the “green” showing up every day!
Ahhhh Spring – the most wonderful time of the year! Soon the Bloom Thyme Cottage Garden will be filled with green and bursting with blooms! I can’t wait!

Hello again, Yellow use to be my favorite color. I recently learned that the Lenten Rose is poisonous. Did you know? I need to check it out though. Think all parts of the plant are poisonous. Perhaps sometime you may want to do a topic on this as I shared some wisteria seeds with my niece and then found out the seeds were poisonous. I did let her know. Saint Patrick’s Day is on the horizon so we shall see lots of the color green.
