This is the 3rd Fence garden’s daffodils on Sunday afternoon. We’re to get rain and high winds on Monday, so they might not look like this afterwards.
These are what the first 3 sections of the Fence gardens look like.
The tiny daffs in the 4th Fence garden are making a brave show.
7th Fence garden
The magnolia hasn’t opened yet.
We had a hard frost on Saturday night and many of the outlying branches got nipped.
In the Big garden, many of the buds have opened. They seemed to have born the brunt of the high winds lately.
In the South Herb garden, things are growing. The bright red center left is my peony.
The squills in the New North garden are all open, and lovely contrast with the coltsfoot flowers.
I found a lovely surprise in the North Corner garden by the back steps. I had thought these had disappeared. My intern and I had looked for them, but only found snowdrops here.
But these are ‘Leucojum aestivum’ aka Snowflake plant. They have the green along the edge of the petals.
In the New North garden this hellebore saved the digging last summer when the water line burst. It’s doing really well considering.
I know lesser celandine is considered an invasive plant, but I do love the bright yellow of the flowers and the bright green of the leaves in the springtime. This is growing on the edge of the bank at the swamp.
Down in the swamp the skunk cabbages are getting huge.
The middle pasture has greened up nicely. The maples are still holding their flowers, showing the red hue along the tree line.
In the Big garden I got another section of the fence line done on Sunday afternoon. That makes 4 done, ⅔ of the way done.
I prepped the 5th section but won’t get to it until Tuesday or later in the week, when the weather permits. Just 2 more to do. The last one will be hard, because I have the rugosa rose right there.
