Nothing blooming here, but I don't actually *have* a garden yet; just a yard, a hayfield and lots of woods. There are some kind of bulbs trying to grow in one of the flower beds, but I am bulb-illiterate. My dogs dug them up so I replanted them and they are still green at this time, just emerging from the snow cover of the last two weeks. One hosta is still green, it is the only one though. I really need to do something about the drainage around the foundation, because the beds hold water and the basement doesn't care for that much (nor I!) I already know I have to do some dirt fill near the NE corner of the basement, as the previous owners put in concrete steps and the water coming from the downspout has nowhere to go but back into the basement walls...eek! I'm hoping that I didn't purchase a 1940's money pit. So far, just minor issues that I can see, although the electrical system could use a complete re-working to make me feel happier and safer over the long haul.
I have some bushes that I don't recognize near the house and a baby one in a bed out front, plus I brought my tea olive which has so far survived 0 degree weather. It looks pretty bad right now but I'm hoping it will come back in the spring. My daphne odorata has not bloomed yet, but it took quite the chilling experience in the U-Haul where it spent a freezing night before I could retrieve it. I lost many things on the move, including two plants my DH bought for me
Right now everyone is hanging out in the living room by the south facing window, hoping for a spring planting!
