Show Us Your Landscape and Gardens - A Photo Thread March 2024
March 2023
I skipped a few months over the winter. I don't remember if we always do or not. But there has been so little activity here in the winters now, that I didn't think anyone would miss them. [g]
My garden seems to be starting reasonably early and not too early, but early enough that with the weather so unpredictable, I'm expecting a cold snap to come along and zap anything that grows in March and even in early April.
I've had Snowdrops blooming for a couple of weeks, which seems a little early to me. But just in the past 2 days I see crocus blooms open in some areas and just showing foliage in others. Mid March is usual for crocus for me, so it seems about on time. Also one tiny daffodil plant is blooming and I can't remember what variety it is. All the other daff foliage is showing in the back but not in the front yet. I haven't even started to clean up yet and I left more mess than usual in the Fall.

Comments (38)The garden is slowly emerging from the snow, but it is pretty homely at this time of year, with just a little bit of green, and a lot of dirty snow and dead stalks that I didn't get cleared out last fall. By the front of the house From Early spring 2014 The large perennial bed along the old barn foundation From Early spring 2014 The big bed at the shop From Early spring 2014 I look at the vole tracks in the melting snow and cringe when I think of the damage they must have done, but I can't see enough to know yet. From Early spring 2014 The stream is in full flood from the rain (all our recent storms have been rain, even when MA residents got snow.) From Early spring 2014 From Early spring 2014 The big field doesn't look nearly as lovely during mud season with its piles of muddy manure and areas of slushy melt water. From Early spring 2014 I know that this messy stage will only last a week or two, and I am enjoying the daytime temperatures in the 50's....See MoreShow us your landscape - a photo thread - March 2012
Comments (28)You turn your back on them and they suddenly leap out of nowhere! I went out on the deck as the sun was going down to check on a wind toy, and I saw daffodils in the middle of some junipers! I raced out with the camera to catch the last light (not enough light for a good closeup): N. 'Jetfire' and Juniper 'Gray Owls' And on the way back into the house I looked at a bed from a different angle and saw another daffodil near the house foundation! N. 'Lemon Glow' Claire...See MoreShow us your gardens - a photo thread - March 2015
Comments (31)Bill, Here's hoping your recuperation will be accompanied by warm Spring weather that will allow you to sit in your garden. Get well soon. Since Houz doesn't support Flickr, I've decided to bypass it and just upload jpegs from my desktop. Galanthus Blewbury Tart is the only thing blooming in my garden. I don't even have any crocuses showing. They're all under the snow. Sedum Angelina, still in her winter colors, but at least snow free. The damage that is emerging as the snow melts is considerable. Small trees and shrubs have loads of torn branches. The conifers have their lower branches still covered and bent. This is a detail from Thuja 4Ever Gold, which actually has had its best color this winter. I often bring in a few potted Hostas and put them in a window in order to get them to bloom a little earlier than usual. This is Designer Genes, one of the best with a yellow and red combination. No green on this plant. We're supposed to get some snow melt over the next few days. It's almost April for goodness sake.

Comments (22)NHBabs - I KNOW I answered your question yesterday, but it did not appear. Yes, I will start the begonias indoors about the 3rd week of March so they will bloom for a longer time outdoors. I also bought a pre-planted resin pot of tuberous begonias at Costco, so again, an addiction intervention may be necessary. But, bang for the buck in a shadier spot, those tuberous begonias are winners. The crocosmia, which the hummers love, disappeared thanks to chipmunk excavations. So, I may plant them in a tub on the deck where I can at least yell at the digging chipmunks in my sight and photograph hummers from inside the house. We'll see how that works. :) The zinnia seeds I still plant in raised bed planters on the deck in April and cover them with old storm windows. Hummers like those too as do the goldfinches. I like a LOT of color and these days, large containers on wheels are much easier to manage. Jane...See Moreprairiemoon2 z6b MA

last monthI don't have any bulbs blooming just yet, but this is a good time for my hellebore. Well, it would be a good time if we weren't getting snow tomorrow. I give to you a plate of pretties, a flower from each plant currently in bloom. I have about 20+ more varieties in bud, so wish them luck! I'm thinking they'll make it through the snow OK!

26 days agolast modified: 26 days agoLovely photos! We have crocus out, that’s it. (Excpet I suppose snowdrops if I had any). I’m so impressed with how crocus multiply. Definitely worth the cost of the original bulbs. I’ll add some photos of the ice last weekend. I was at a friends house in New Hampshire. It was at a friend’s house in New Hampshire. It was a crystal winter Wonderland!
