Spring has arrived! April has been as cruel as ever – but May is near. The winter was the mildest in my memory, with much less snow. Minimal rabbit damage, just on a few shrubs such as spirea, which can take a good rabbit pruning. Not even much winter kill on the Japanese maple. Crocus and snowdrops are long finished. Bloodroot is done. Daffodils are doing great. I think all the buds are open now.
It has taken a few years but now there is a lovely, full display of daffodils throughout the garden.
The circle of daffodils around Selena has also filled in. Considering the first year there were only 6 blooms.
This is a new hellebore, also looking really beautiful.
And, the deer are back.
