The Daffodils are in Blooming In My Ohio Garden

March 24, 2012 By Linette 2 Comments

The daffodils are blooming a little early here in Ohio this year. They usually aren’t blooming until April, but we’ve had crazy warm temperatures for March this year. It’s been in the upper 70`F and even up into the 80` range the last couple days.

Everything is blooming early! Even the fruit trees are in full bloom, I’ll be back with blossom pics later today or tomorrow! Right now I want to share some of the daffodil pics I took earlier today.

Here are the basic yellow daffodils. They may be the most common, but I still love their vibrant color!

I also have some double daffodils. They’re a really pretty peaches and cream variety.

These daffodils start out with a little peach in the center but after a couple days they turn to all cream. They’re definitely another favorite!

What’s blooming in your garden this weekend?

First Signs Spring Might Be Coming to Ohio

Normally this time of year we have snow on the ground most of the time. We’ve gotten off really light this year, with hardly any snow! I’ve actually been watching some of the spring flowers start to pop out of the ground for the last couple weeks. It’s super exciting for me, since I’m always ready for spring and warmer weather.

Here are some tulips reaching their tiny leaves up toward the sunlight.

Here are some daffodils sprouting right up there. I should have dug these up and spread them out last fall!

A few of my perennial herbs are starting to sprout, like this French Tarragon.

I’m ready for those fresh herbs and flowers straight from the garden! I think I’m coming down with a serious case of spring fever!

The Daffodils Are Popping Out Of The Ground!

March 19, 2010 By Linette 1 Comment

The daffodils started peeking out from under the ground a couple weeks ago when there was still snow on the ground. Now they look like they’re about ready to bloom! I love spring flowers, they’re so inspiring, and beautiful, I’m always more than ready to see their cheery faces.
This bunch is in my kitchen herb garden right outside my back door. I put a layer of leaves over the whole thing last fall, so the bed doesn’t look the best right now, but it will this summer!

Do you have anything blooming in your garden this spring?

Signs of Spring

Tomorrow is the official start of Spring here in the Northern hemisphere. I think that’s definitely a reason to celebrate! My garden is finally showing signs of coming to life.

Here’s a shot of the pussy willow tree. I love the fluffy white pods when they come out in Spring for a few days.

My daffodils and tulips are both about to bloom. The daffodils have buds that are almost ready to open. A couple more bright sunny days and I’ll have some photos of the blooms to share.
