Well, there are lots of exciting things starting to come up! A lot of the green tufts you see around the trees are bulbs that have been there previously -- some muscari and lots of wood hyacinth. These pictures were taken on a sunny day--not something that comes easily in March in Vancouver! The leaves demark a natural path between the trees that we're building on. We planted ferns on either side of the path (hopefully they survived the winter in my pots, their roots were pretty exposed) and we'll plant some hostas further up the path among the trees. In the lower left-hand corner you can see some of the geraniums... they've taken over the shade garden so we moved them down here where it's a bit of a wilder setting and they can spread if they want to! When we first started this garden we took boxloads and boxloads of garbage out of here: anything from shoes and sweaters to bbq grills, condom wrappers and coffee cups. It just dawned on me that in the last 6 mos at least there has been next to nothing for garbage! The garden has been really respected so far at this location.
Here you can see the crocosmia, daffodils and crocus coming up... (and more wood hyacinth!) I can't wait for the daffodils to naturalize. Got to get to those stump sprouts in the background. Hopefully it's not too late in the spring to trim them.
Also, at the tip of the triangle, we put a little patch of dirt and I planted some wildflower seeds, hopefully we can expand to take up the entire tip of the triangle, there's a lot of yarrow there (which isn't terrible) and weeds. The yarrow might look nice in a wildflower mix.
