Thread Name: BS: The Spring Garden (N. Hemisphere)
Subject: RE: BS: The Spring Garden (N. Hemisphere)
In Northern Pennsylvania I have daffodils, forsythia and chives showing themselves. The chives are about 15" tall and I am using them daily...YUM! Just this week we added another forsythia bush, a lavender Rose of Sharon bush, a pink hydranga, 2 apple trees, 2 cherry trees, 2 pear trees and a variety of grapes. I have Lily of the Valley, Gladioloas and Black-Eyed Susans to be planted this weekend. My sunflower bed has been tilled and is ready to go. Also, my Mom gave me a small, portable greenhouse for my birthday last week....I'm hoping to get that put together tonight or tomorrow afternoon and then I can set out the lettuce and pansies that just wouldn't do well with the colder nights we are still having.

My husband and I have a wager going about when the leaves on the trees will pop. Keep your fingers crossed....I can use the cash! :)
