mdehnersI know, but I've never seen an Opossum here but Squirrels, Crows and Deer are the most abundant critters in our little vale;>.
The pre-Equinox Freeze did little damage except to my Green-Eyed Daffs. Maybe next yr. The Tuberous Hardy Geranium's have been blooming for weeks and most of the regular herbaceous ones have buds. The wild Violets all over the neighborhood are nearing their peak and the White ones whose seeds hitchhiked in the plants are starting.
I've been Planting the 1st batch of stratified seed plants I started in January. The one's started in March are almost ready to be hardened off. And the 1st couple of plant orders from when the catalogues came out have arrived! Got the non-climbing Clematises in today as well as some Geraniums, Campanulas and broke off a bit of Persecaria (bistorta?) to a claggy slope where I had to move last Fall a Creeping Phlox that wasn't happy there.
Also today I stratified a bunch of seeds to start in late Summer so they'll bloom next Spring. Mostly Primroses. Don't think they'll make it through our Summers but I can treat them as Biannuals and get at least a nice Spring show from them;>!
Cheers,
Pat
