Spring Fever!

I'm not just suffering from March Madness, but a full blown case of Spring Fever!!!!  Last week I had a speedy delivery of the 8 David Austin Roses ordered as a result of this fever.  I had no idea where I was going to place them when they arrived.  Of course it was all planned when ordered them; but as I always do, I second guessed my original decision and changed it all up.  I'm pretty happy with the placement, but a bit nervous about the decision to place one of them under my window in the back of my house.  I have about 2 feet between the wall and my window, and don't want to block the view.  I'll let you know how it turns out by fall.

Here's what's blooming in my garden in the end of March:
  • Creeping Phlox - bright florescent lavender pink color
  • Creeping Jenny - ok, not really blooming but it's so bright green it looks like a bloom
  • Dianthus - the perennial kind (blue foliage) and the so called "annual" kind 
  • Christy Speedwell - veronica- Pale blueish/purple (6-10 in tall, spikes - fungus or mold issues)
  • "Waterperry Blue" - veronica - groundcover (4-6 in tall no blue spikes)
  • Forget-me-not - annual that i grew from seed last year 2010, and didn't bloom until this yr
  • Crocus
