Hello everyone from Zionsville, PA Zone 6. Kimberly you sure make me want
to get out into the garden and get dirt on my hands again. Hoping Mother
Nature doesn't give us another cold snap when the apple orchards are in
bloom. This area has lots of old orchards and the mountains are just lovely
when they are in bloom.
Boy, I don't have anything blooming at the moment besides pussy-willows and
a few urns with pansies. We have another slight snow fall here and the cold
snap has made my pansies lean over a wee bit. They will pick up as we are
supposed to have nice
weather this weekend. Guess the snow cover has protected some of my
perennials which were just starting to push up. I had to scrap ice off the
windows of my truck this morning of snow?
My bulbs are starting to come up and sure glad I didn't decide to take off
my coverings from the peony beds.Primroses are starting to sprout and when
the marsh marigolds start blooming I'll be glad to see their yellow flowers
again.
On checking my perennial holding bed the deer have eaten my shrubs down to
about nothing. Perhaps they will rebound back this Spring - why they even
ate my prize evergreen down to a stick - just a tall stick standing. Bet
they were looking at my house laughing at me to give them such a wonderful
meal. Waiting for the mountain in back to give off it's showing of spring
color. Did see blue birds in the yard a few weeks ago but they haven't
been back. They did nest in my boxes in the yard close to our house last
year. Will keep a close watch on the nesting boxes.
