Hi all, my name is Stephanie. I live in Salem, OR. I garden on 2 acres, and I'm very obsessed. I'm going to give ATP a try instead of Dave's Garden. I like how you can click through the images instead of reloading each time.

Hello, Kosk - recognize you from DG. Love your pink pussywillow. And welcome Duane. Finally getting some 'real' color in the yard this month. Looking forward to everyone's photos. Greg, you did beat me out on starting the thread, you rascal. I'm heading outside now to do some weekend cleanup, hopefully will have some photos.

Welcome! Stephanie nice photos! My personal experience is that ATP is "friendlier" and maybe even less clinical, but that may be just the way I interact on here! Hi Duane and Deb!
I love springtime, especially early on where the first bulbs open up and there's a warm breeze if the sun is out, and I'm really really tempted to put on a pair of shorts! And maybe even do the classic shorts, sox and sandals (not that I'm older I no longer care if its a "wrong" look Hilarious! ) then I get outside and I'm like "Its freakin' freezing out here!" Whistling I tip my hat to you.

FINALLY starting to get some actual blooms in the gardens. Here's what I found today (until the clouds decided to open up). The white hellebore is a surprise to me - must be one of the babies, I think all the others were divisions off the mother plant and have remained true.

Welcome! Stephanie. So glad you like it here. Great photos. And you don't live very far from me. Hurray!

Things are waking up in your Seattle area Greg. Great to see the beginnings of spring. Lovey dubby

Duane, which dwarf daffodils it that. Looks to be very tiny. I have Tete-a-tete and Chit Chat.

Here is what is blooming in my gardens right now. I too love this time of year, full of promise.

A new plant for me that I got last month. It is a miniature shrub, or shrublet. I have another one that is the species and not a hybrid like the 'Kamniski'. The species one has been blooming off and on since last fall.
