Garden: First sign of Spring

I stopped writing my garden blog last fall, when it became hard to find time to write & garden & take care of a baby. So I decided to move some of my garden writing to this main blog. The posts will be few and far between still ...

The snowbells (leucojum aestivum) emerged around February 22, 2012. Pretty early, usually these appear in early March.

And now, nearing the middle of March, they are losing their pretty white petals, making way for the the daffodils and tulips. I predict a few daffodils by next week. This has been a mild winter for sure for Zone 5-Chicagoland.
