Seedfork's blog: Spring awakening pictures

Posted on Mar 20, 2015 8:30 AM

Currently 66 deg. F. and overcast with a predicted high of 80 deg. and 80 percent chance of rain.
Wanted to get out before the rain and take a few pictures, I am trying to be more observant in the garden this year!
I just planted the cosmos seedlings out into the garden the other day and I noticed that a few of them were already showing little buds. I plan to try and plant some throughout the year.

I did get my little order from Wild's planted, they don't look like much now, but I am hoping to see a bloom on most of them before the year is over. Look like little white shoots right now.

My Asiatic lilies are starting to grow, hoping the deer don't find them this year!

The Cyclamen seem to be taking turns blooming I was hoping they would all bloom at the same time, but doesn't seem to be happening.

The Amaryllis are just right ready to start opening up. Notice how low the one bud is to the ground, it was that way last year, a big beautiful red bloom, but right off the ground.
