Couple of days of sunshine...

.. and what a huge difference you can see in the garden already! It's only been few days since I took last pictures on Sunday and today I went to water my planted seeds and was surprised to see so much improvement. It's been mid-60 for 3 days and it shows! Here is my sorrel - completely awake and will be ready to pick by the weekend! I see sorrel soup on my menu on Sunday! And here my peonies woke up! They are normally dormant until first week of April! Does it mean I'll see some early may flowers? I hope so! They are only 2 yrs old so it's a 50/50 chance that they'll bloom this year. And remember those tiny spots of tulips that you could barely see?? Now you can see them without squinting! I do hope they'll be pretty in bloom soon! Because very soon the second garden will be completed and then all these tulips will be transplanted as a border just outside to make it pretty. And this bed will be replanted with warmth-loving bush beans. My crocuses will join tulips in the same area - different height of flowers should make it a nice contrast. As you can see they're doing pretty nicely too. And judging by small offshoots I will have to divide them! Which is great because i won't have to buy more bulbs :)

  1. You have wonderful flowers coming up. I get to enjoy what Belle does around here. She divided our daffodils last year and they are doing great.

    1. I haven't tried to divide my daffodils yet but will have to do that when I transplant them to the new area. This is their second year so should be fine for this season. Just can't wait to see it all in bloom!

    1. I got my in local walmart so they weren't expensive and planted on the corners of the garden by fencing so it's not in a way. Really hope they'll bloom this year.

  3. looks like your garden will be full of color soon! I hope your peonies bloom for you this year. Mine has yet to bloom (3 years) But it was planted too deep in the soil. I replanted it higher in the soil last year and now I'm waiting again...

    1. 3 years and no bloom? Oy. That's discouraging. I do hope mine will not take this long as it should be lovely deep purple color. :(
