A few warm days in February seems to have caused the trees and early blooming flowers to pop up in the garden. The crocus and hyacinth bulbs that were not removed during pond renovation have come up and look extremely healthy. The large bradford pear tree is in full bloom while the smaller ones are just beginning to open. We are having a rainy few days with cooler temperatures in the 50’s so they should open shortly.
Here is a picture of the pond today (03/05/2011). You can see the rebuilt bench and the hemlocks. The japanese maple is a sliver of a stick still but putting on buds. You can also see the rebuilt waterfall but not from a good angle. You may also notice the plumbing change outbound side of the waterco pre-filter. Still so much work to do.
