Spring is Coming!

I am so looking for Spring. I love the Winter. Snow makes a handy tool for dragging bags of horse feed on the sled. Much preferred over trying to use the wheel barrow in mud!
One daylily is coming up. I have been looking at them for the past week or so. Finally! I do have bigger plans for the flower and veggie gardens this year. We'll see.
Being as we have a little bit more money each month, I can do a little bit more. I plan to:
Plant 3 more daylily varieties.
Plant more echanacia (SP??)
Select a couple of Irises (haven't picked my to die for color yet) and maybe some perennial greenery. Of course I plan to add some marigolds grown from seed. And try to start some other annuals by seed as well.
Fist is to till the area for the flower bed (taking care not to disturb the daylilies that survived the winter), then work on a low chickenwire fencing.
Possibly some before and after pictures.....I'll take a pic or two this evening during chores.

Yesterday one of the new daylilies bloomed! Absolutely gorgeous red color. I thought I had plenty of time to take a picture, but I guess the greenhouse is just too warm and it has already expired. The same plant has another but ready to bloom. I won't miss getting some shots of this one!!!
BloomingBulb has a great sale going on a wide variety of flower bulbs. I plan to puchase the New Toy daylily and unfortunately the Pandora's Box is sold out, so that one is on my wish list!
