Our boxwoods survived the winter well.
Lenten Roses happily transplanted from Lynchburg are showing off new blooms and spring leaves.
Despite coming up rather early, they've made it through even a couple of snowy days to see the real start of spring.
More and more tiny shoots of Solomon's Seal are poking through the mulch daily.
The white and green leaves of Solomon's Seal transplanted from Lynchburg.
These baby Lenten Roses seem to be so pleased with their new home that they've multiplied.
My new crop of herbs for the kitchen: Thyme, Mint, and Basil.
Cilantro and even more Basil (you can never have too much in the summer) marked with a table "card" from Graham and Candice's wedding in Charleston.
The next phase: a Leyland Cypress "screen" along the back fence line. They'll go in the ground tomorrow.
Even I was surprised to see this many blossoms peeking out as I came around the house this evening. Every day there seem to be thousands more.
Joey's GRASS!
When this Annabelle Hydrangea and its sisters made the trip from mum and dad's garden in Lynchburg they weren't much to look at - seemingly all lifeless sticks. Look at them now!
Tomorrow we'll have a new layer of dark mulch to set off the color of the new leaves.
The Oak Leaf Hydrangeas are starting to leaf too. You may have seen these in pots by the pool on mum and dad's slate terrace.
I'm not sure what they're eating, but we have some of the fattest, happiest looking robins you've ever seen.
