gardeningI posted pictures of my yard today. This batch has the most garden-related images, along with links to the other sets.
This final set shows the house yard, along with some flower gardens. See the Forest Garden, the South Lot, the West Edge, the Savanna, and the Prairie Garden sets.
A long flower garden grows along the west edge of the parking lot. The north end of the flower garden holds snowdrops.
The middle bed holds mostly tulips, along with some irises and peonies.
The southern bed holds daffodils.
These miniature irises have volunteered just beyond the south end of the flowerbed.
This is the Home Base mulberry tree. <3 huorns. Daffodils and blue grape hyacinths grow at the base.
Forsythia is beginning to bloom at the northwest corner of the house yard.
Here is a closeup of the forsythia flowers.
This is the house yard looking southeast. It is technically the back yard, but it's the one we spend time in, so it functions more as a front yard.
This is the goddess garden. In summer it has a head-and-shoulders goddess statue.
Bronze crocus are blooming in the goddess garden. In the lower left, that little green umbrella is winter aconite just past its bloom time.
This crocus is purple.
This is the house yard looking straight east. You can see the barrel garden on the left.
This is the house yard looking northeast. The big tree toward the left is a mulberry and the one on the far right is a black walnut. These are two of the most common tree species in the yard.
This is the house yard looking southeast. You can see the picnic table with its container garden. The sun actually came out for this picture. The light kept changing every few minutes.
Here is a closeup of the barrel garden. I haven't cleaned it up yet.
This is a closeup of the picnic table with its container garden. I haven't cleaned it up either.
This is the rain garden under the downspout by the patio. It has crocus flowers and in the upper right corner a columbine is sprouting.
Purple and white crocus have flowers, but are closed in the cloudy weather.

>> I do enjoy signs of spring. :)
I like walking around to see the changes. It's also fun to see what's happening in other people's yards or parks.

>> I've got a few crocuses popping <<
I have some. My earliest flowers are winter aconite, then snowdrops and snow crocus, then miniature iris.
>> (though they weren't a fan of the below-freezing temps of earlier this week), <<
Here it got down to 27F recently. I thought it would wilt some of the plants, but I didn't see any damage. Today it's been raining off and on.
>> and my forsythias are just starting to bud up. <<
Mine are starting to open, such a pretty sunny yellow. I'd like to plant some witch hazel, another very early bloomer, but it's harder to find.
>> I'm pondering cutting a few branches for forcing indoors.<<
Good idea. Forsythia usually works.
