We did four ...Randy, I agree with you on the mulch. We did four cubic yards this week...our hill killed us. I really need to add some crocus.<br /><br />Britta, I love a taste of spring this time of year. You are really having a cold winter!<br /><br />Tina, I look forward to the Qunice being mature enough to bloom. The newly moved shrubs are doing well.<br /><br />Donna, Glad to oblige. <br /><br />Daricia, Some of the winter weeds are coming on strong. Poa anna is the one that drives us crazy. <br />The Loropetalum is Daruma, which is supposed to be 3-4 feet tall at maturity...hope so.<br /><br />Lona, We have been working outside all week, it has been wonderful. <br /><br />Janet, Spring is really coming on strong...lots of trees are budding. I hope my soil change works too.<br /><br />Kathleen, Yaaaaayyyy! Crazy internet stuff. Glad you were able to come and comment. The soil problem could have been all sorts of stuff, if I had done a soil test I might know better what the problem might have been.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-89698705371669110512012-01-28T00:33:39.351-05:002012-01-28T00:33:39.351-05:00Yay ~ it worked!!!

Thanks Janet ~ I don't know how many others were affected but I appreciate all the tweaking.<br /><br />It definitely looks like spring there! I'd say I'm jealous but I found a snowdrop yesterday so that is making me feel pretty good for the moment (or until the next snowstorm!!) <br />I bet that area near your house did get the grout water, paint cleaning and possibly more fill dirt too?? You'll get it figured out ~ you've been working so hard, it will all be amazing very soon.<br />Thanks again and sorry I didn't get back sooner.

I'm not sure there is anything quite as exciting as planting really young trees, ones that look more like twigs, and watching them gradually turn into sturdy, recognisable trees. Hope your change of soil works on that bed, so frustrating when you don't know what is going on exactly.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-22331481451793097292012-01-26T15:41:05.884-05:002012-01-26T15:41:05.884-05:00Janet it looks like spring around your house with ...Janet it looks like spring around your house with things budding out. I bet it feels good to be working outdoors. It is warm enough here but raining and flooding in the valley. I love your pink hellebore bud.

I think it's so neat how weather and conditions affect bloom times. The frontyard looks nice. Maybe it was all fill dirt where the gardenias were located.

I have a tiny, tiny crabapple on my balcony - and now I know how the buds look when they start opening (not now please, we have minus 2 degrees today, too cold for fragile buds)Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-2076064313153655962012-01-25T22:43:36.903-05:002012-01-25T22:43:36.903-05:00Janet,
