Today we were supposed to get 10 cm of snow. Instead we got rain! I'm stoked. They're still saying we may get snow tonight, but I don't think it will. I keep checking my now-exposed garden for my daffodil sprouts. I have no idea when they should be appearing, but I figure the ground LOOKS thawed.. and it's almost April... I think it'll be any day now. Of course I could be way off. This is my first year of daffodils. In addition to them this year I think I'll have tomatoes and peas again, marigolds because Carol said they keep bugs away, zuccini, aaaaand.. um... some other kind of flowers. I was thinking also of having a large hanging basket of morning glories and letting them trail down instead of twine upwards. Think that'll work? [it would take a miracle]
My front garden is shady until later afternoon, so I looked up what flowers like shade. Marigolds are not on the list. I think I'll put them on the side with my peas, tomato, and daffodils. I did find out that Bleeding Hearts and Bugbane are both very pretty flowers that like the shade. Bugbane repells bugs as well.
I'm getting excited!!

I'm going to try to replant my Bleeding heart this year... you can have a root cutting if you time it right. :)
Love

We have a huge bleeding heart at mom's that I loooove!! Do it!
I love bleeding hearts. They remind me of the Vandewater's home on Lookout Place. That's where I first saw them and fell in love... they come in white too. Did I mention that? I would love a root cutting, Carol, can you sprig me off a piece and put it in some water for me? I was going to start the BH and BB soon because they take a long time to establish, sources tell me. I'd like white BH AND traditional pink. I switch it up like that cuz I can. ohhh yeahhh boyyyeeezzzzzz :P
