My plants seem to be at a similar stage of new growth, and it was great to get all the old stems, dried foliage and fallen tree leaves moved away to see what was growing underneath. I even found the first nubs of hosta growth in a couple of places. I agree that weather is perfect for gardening at this time of year -- sunny, not too hot, and the blackflies and mosquitoes haven't hatched out yet. Enjoy your spring gardening. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-30267141507729610922013-04-29T16:13:48.361-03:002013-04-29T16:13:48.361-03:00Your garden is coming along quite nicely my friend...Your garden is coming along quite nicely my friend!!

I've spent the last two years planting perennials so hopefully this year they will start to fill out a bit. It's hard to tell because they blend in so but I have actually put stones in there. We found dozens of old foundation stones in the hedgerow and that's where I've used them.
