March 2013 has been a cold, rainy, windy month, but things are greening up nicely.
The Clematis trellis was rotting and falling down.
I carefully eased parts of the old trellis away from the vine and put up another trellis.
The Peony began growing new shoots in February despite freezing temperatures.
It is so tall now that I have already put the ring-support around it.
The Tulip Magnolia has had a hard time this Spring.
A few mild days coaxed it to bud, then the cold weather returned.
You can see the damage on the edges of the petals.
The Ornamental Pear Tree is in full bloom. The evergreens to the right are Pines and Holly.
Behind the Pear to the left is a Maple and an Oak.
The green shrub in the lower right corner is Butterfly Bush.
The Daffodils have finished blooming, but the Day Lilies will soon display their cheerful colors.
The Roses are beginning to leaf out.
I am excited to see the Pink Flowering Almond I bought last year has new leaves!

On March 8, I sowed my Salad Garden - lettuce, onions, carrots, and radishes.
I mix the seeds all together and sprinkle them in large tubs of potting mix.
Kind of reckless, I know.
They are coming up, but still tiny. Sunny April days will give them a fantastic boost!
I have also planted some onion bulbs. They mature a lot faster than the ones started from seeds.
How is your garden growing?
Happy Easter!
