This has been a long one: I started with tazettas in December and here I am with tulips, cherry blossoms, and still a few hyacinths in mid-March. The tulips just started showing color a few days ago (a few are not quite there yet, as you see above) and the cherry buds are starting to pop. I brought the branches in in February—in fact, I think it’s noted a few posts down.
Sadly, our housesitter will be enjoying most of this show, as we leave for Sicily Monday. I hope to come back with plenty of great wildflower pics, as they should be in full swing there. Look for continued (prewritten) posting on Garden Rant, but I think GWI will be hiatus until we return.
Oh, btw, no action outside! I know snowdrops are there somewhere, but the thaw has just started,

The only forcing I have tried is forsythia and that takes no work...
Looking forward to the wildflower show when you return from Sicily.... Sicily, that sounds wonderful.

Timing is everything. isn't it? I hate when I have to leave my garden at its peak. But Sicily? Might be worth it!

Have a blast girl. Take copious notes and pictures for each note. Will look forward to reading and seeing all about your trip. ENJOY
Well, we are just talking about a few pots of bulbs—not what I'd term a peak!
But I never mind leaving. Vacations are always worth it.
Thanks Lisa! All the guidebooks talk about it so I am hoping I won't be disappointed.
I hope your trip is a wonderful one. I'm going to enjoy seeing your photographs when you return.
That's a good gift to leave for your housesitter. Your forcing efforts this winter have been successful.
Bon voyage !
I'm really looking forward to posts about Sicily...buon viaggio!
Wow...enjoy! The trip is well worth it!
Have a great time!
