I’ve been sidelined for a couple of weeks with a cold, but now I can finally get back into the garden this year. Here’s a shot of the forest pansy blooming a few weeks ago. It has now dropped its blooms and put out it’s purple heart-shaped leaves.

Every year I plant three poppies and every year only one lives to bloom. But this year, two of them lived. I’ll take that as a sign that my gardening skills are improving.

Since I gotten over my cold, I’ve planted quite a few things which I’ll be posting here. And with the hostas and caladiums coming up, and the hydrangeas and irises about to bloom, there will soon be many more pictures to post.
