Muscari, hyacinths, daffs, oh my

The little bulb patch next to the driveway is doing its thing. All the bulbs here are transplants from other places in the yard. I started with some tulips about eighteen years ago. They still put up leaves (you can see them in front of the daffodils), but they make fewer and fewer flowers as the years go by. The rest of the bulbs are more recent.

A little patch of springtime.

The muscari (grape hyacinth) spread like crazy and are now invading the driveway. I let them grow where they want to. The white hyacinths are the most recent addition.

It's now time to plant some vegetable seeds in the greenhouse. Collards are already sprouting, in the next day or so I'll plant tomatoes and zucchini. Here we go again!

  2. Have you ever tried to transfer some primroses into that patch to see if they proliferate?

  3. The tulips need lifting and splitting if they are coming up blind!
    That's a lovely patch, even so!

  4. What a joy it is to start seeing things blooming, and to hear that it's time to start prepping the plants for the potager!
