Lilac update

So far,  they are doing very well.  But I am under no illusions here.  We are not out of the frost free zone. This weekend, in fact...perhaps...

Spring is trying very hard.  And in spite of The Guy’s efforts at ‘thinning’ last year, the violets are blooming.

I am making good progress getting the beds cleaned out, and say that I am about 85% there.  Maybe 90%, because I am optimistic that way!
And I am seeing tall bearded iris buds in the front yard.  I have the little guys blooming already.


May is right around the corner.

I think you should cut a small branch of lilac and bring them in and see if they will open. I have seen that done with forsythia.

Needles of Iron

  • Welcome...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
