I have a pale green hellebore. It's pretty but I really like the rosy purple ones. I had one in town but I tried to transplant it. It did not survive.

yeah, I was just out looking at them. creamy pale green with flecks of purple in the middle. very pretty.
I did a stroll around the lawn. daffs, hyacinths, grape hyacinths and forsythia are blooming. and way too much wild violets in the lawn and my garden beds.
I finally got my onion transplants. hopefully, I can get them in the ground this weekend.

My Hellebore are bloomed! I have a deep purple color and a cream color.

Outdoors. Bought a shallow-ish plastic bin with a lid, drilled holes for drainage and ventilation. JRenae read up on it first, she has all the particulars, pm her for the straight skinny.

The hardest part about worm wrangling? Branding time.

oh! worm wrangling. let us know how that works out for you. is it indoors or outdoors? We've been kicking around the idea of worm composter.

We planted (okay, JRenae planted) parsley, garlic, and mint (next to the A/C drain), hopefully we'll have a little something for the table before too long. My lemongrass hasn't sprouted yet, it may have been too dry.

Also started a worm farm. Or is it a ranch? They're livestock, after all.

I'm not really much into gardening, I'm doing good just to keep the lawn mowed, but fresh herbs are a powerful incentive.

Early Spring is when I put citrus fertilizer stakes around my 3 trees, Ruby Red Grapefruit (16 years old), Murcott Orange (3 years old) and Navel Orange (3 years old). They are all blossoming. The smell is so captivating. My favorite.

Fedco Seeds!



They are proponents of non-sterile planting (ie, you can save your own seeds and plant them next year) and they specialize in cold-hearty varieties (a must for New England)
