Last year, a whole bunch of a flower I'd never seen came up at the corner of my yard. That turf became a no-mow zone until the flowers were done for the year, and I noticed the other day that they are back, so I'm happy to see them again. (and my mowing task just shrank again!) Congrats on the new house. Sounds like it's a happy place to land, with lovely flowers and trees you'll enjoy.<br /><br />I put out a bunch of seeds last night to wildflowers and other things, so hopefully that section of the yard with little grass will be overrun with other things instead. Just in time, too, because we got a good bit of rain in the night and this morning. Fingers crossed. <br /><br />I also just ordered some seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, so we'll see how those do, too. :)<br /><br />phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-55564837464590152612018-04-19T20:06:42.649-05:002018-04-19T20:06:42.649-05:00You're very welcome, young lady.

We're basing what they are by the greenery they're shooting up.<br /><br />We moved from SoCal (Long Beach) to Northern Colorado in Fort Collins last September. We found this house and closed on October 31st, and nothing was growing then. We didn't even know anything was planted there until the greenery started sprouting, and some of our in-laws told us what they thought the plants were.<br /><br />And the crab apple tree is budding and leafing out like crazy. I remember those from when I grew up in Illinois, and they're very pretty, too.<br /><br />I'll to do a Spring post. Been posting a lot more now that we're settled and the house is starting to run smoothly.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-22763139537354135362018-04-19T16:11:49.130-05:002018-04-19T16:11:49.130-05:00Green thumb! :-) Congrats!Green thumb! :-) Congrats!Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-36614874469642230402018-04-19T15:23:26.615-05:002018-04-19T15:23:26.615-05:00I had grape hyacinth in my yard for about a month ...I had grape hyacinth in my yard for about a month starting in early February. I don't have any bulb flowers, but I love tulips and crocus. Lots of trees are blooming, and allergies have been off the charts for many people for the past few weeks. <br />Thanks for sharing, Dr. Jim. Do you have all one variety of iris, and do you divide them up, or just let them roll?<br />phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-78269971080708009842018-04-19T13:31:20.727-05:002018-04-19T13:31:20.727-05:00Everything is greening up here in Colorado as well...Everything is greening up here in Colorado as well.<br /><br />Our tulips, crocus, and iris bulbs are growing, and we can't wait to see them bloom.<br /><br />The trees are budding like crazy, too!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
