It Snowed. It's December. This Plant is Still Flowering.

This is Kenilworth ivy, a groundcover. I don't recall seeing in bloom in December before. What a nice surprise.

Still Planting...in December

They don't look delicious now, but these will be Jerusalem artichoke plants next year. I'm planting them this weekend.

Seed-starting, and Yes, It's a Little Early

A little seed, a medium-sized seed and a large seed. That was the assignment in my Master Gardener class. I have to get these babies to 5 inches tall to receive "credit." Fingers crossed. In just two days, I already "see" the radish.

Taking Down the Hummingbird Feeder

This chunk of ice probably won't help any lingering hummers. I haven't seen any hummingbirds, but I wanted to offer help, just in case.

More Bulb Planting

These drab-looking things are supposed to be orange-y dreamy daffodils. We'll see. I also put about 100 tulips bulbs in. 75 to go. I think I'll force some indoors. Mostly, because I'm tired of planting bulbs.

Bulb Planting - Alliums

Planting these allium bulbs makes it clear that they are related to onions. Big onions. I planted three and am hoping for a tall, crazy display of purple pouf in June.

The Last Rose?

I think it might be. A couple of hard frost nights and not much is left in the garden.
