Wow! The day after I wrote my last post blooms started appearing -- how's that for asking and receiving! :-)
Yes, the early bloomers are gracing us and some .. are already leaving! The very beautiful Snow Drop is already in bloom, as is early yellow and one other variety that is a darker maroon color. The white and the black are in our front yard and the early yellows are in the garden -- I'm betting as I walk out this morning the entire row of them will be in bloom! All we had to do was go through one tornado warning and several days of rain.
I have spent a lot of time building new beds for several siberians. We have had to replant them in new locations and we are starting to add a few new varieties to our list of siberians as well. Next year we will have some very gorgeous blooms.
The siberian beds are a combination of peat moss, alfalfa, and our own home grown compost. I take that mix and till it into the soil then plant the roots in.
I have also spent some time working on updating our web site. We have added a new special for Mother's day. http://www.oakhillgarden.com/mothers.html
It's the first year we have tried package deals.
Well it's out to the garden -- the sun has been calling my name since 6:30!
