Garden of Eden

The annual lawn and garden show was this weekend.

After weeks of freezing temps, three ice storms and freezing rain and snow, the show was a feast for sore eyes.

The colors were glorious.  Don't these primroses just make you want to smile?

Pink and purple Hyacinth's--they smelled heavenly.  I planted some of these in the fall, I hope I am rewarded with colors as vibrant as these.

A very unusual water feature--two crackling crows.

An earthy garden sculpture

Ahh a sweet garden kitty.  

Maidenhair fern--the perfect green

And while tiptoeing through the daffodils, I had a chat with one of my favorite gardeners--David Bates.  We talked about pruning spirea and spreading a pre emergent weed killer.

Come on spring, this gardener is ready to dig in the dirt and smell the roses!
