New Life In The Garden

Today I cleaned a little more of the dead stuff out of the garden, I am so happy that I do a few things in the garden without to much pain. I clean some of the garden last week as well, I still have a lot to do as I could not do much last year as I had a Hip replacement last August 29th. I have noticed that I may need to have my right Hip replaced a year or 2 from now, it lets me know that it too is getting bad. Back to the garden, I noticed a lot more things peeking it’s nose out to see if it is ok to sprout. The weather was very nice again for the last 3 days. It is supposed to rain/snow again tonight and most of the weekend, let’s hope for rain, we don’t need any more cold weather. I still have about half of my garden to clean, lets hope I can do this next week. Here are a few photos of the plants that show some life.

   Columbine Hyacinth coming up

   Tulips More Tulips

   Not all stayed alive. More life

   Some of my Hens & Chicks did not make it this year because of the lack of snow this winter.

    1. Hi Red, my little garden faces south so it is getting a lot of sun and white fences all around. The tallest Tulips are close to the house and are a lot warmer. It gets very hot in my garden in the summer.

  2. My hen and chickens that I brought from home did not do as well as usual because of the lack of snow covering them.
    You have made a good start on your garden. Go at a pace that you can tolerate.

  5. I planted last autumn tulips and they grew nicely while the dears came from mountains and ate them. That was so frustrating.

    I like how these little plants showing slowly. Spring is already arrived to your country. I am sure it will be a nice garden.

  8. It's satisfying when things start to reappear isn't it - those tulips look promising.

  9. Hi Horst I have been doing a lot of clearing and hey presto the same here, new life springing out everywhere. Hope the weather doesn't change too drastic for you and those little blooms. The Tulips are looking good wonder what colour.
    Enjoy your coming week, Sheila

  11. Glad you have been able to get out into your garden without much pain. Spring is springing here in Blacksburg Virginia!

  12. Our spring is almost full-on now. How do I know this? Because an hour after I have mown the grass it doesn't look like it has been cut at all such is the rate of growth. It is a lovely time of the year, and I hope you manage to get the rest of your garden sorted out. I also hope that your other hip stays well for you. And I think those photos express the urgent need for things to start coming up through the earth. Well done you!

  15. Pity the snow returned, but then again we do need the moisture sorely. Take it easy with your hip recovery, better to go slow than to strain it. Enjoy the gardening!

  16. How wonderful that spring has begun to come to you too :)

  17. it is always wonderful to see the new spring buds and shoots.
    It must be nice to be able to get out into the garden again but take it easy with your hip and give yourself the best chance for a full recovery.
    Have a wonderful week, and thanks for stopping by my blog.

  18. Hello Horst, were supposed to be at +16 today in Calgary, a good day to play in the garden. Snow for Wed night again!
    Strange I have not seen a spec of green anywhere yet. I'm sure after a big spring snow dump or rain everything will come to life!
    Take it easy on that hip.
    Cheers.

  19. Good for you :) My garden is in dire need of attention, but I just haven't been able to find the time. It is early yet...even though the weather makes it seem otherwise.

  21. Horst, I love your new Banner, its beautiful like a painting! very nice photo. Oh & the problem with my photos not being sharp is Blogger resizes my photos causing a slight pixel distortion. I've already gone into the HTML settings & resized but Blogger refuses to respond! I am really fussy about this & it is frustrating! :-)

    1. Is it possible that it is the theme, that you have chosen, that causes your fussy problem.

    2. Thanks Horst, certainly an avenue to consider!
