Crazy 'Winter' Garden
Here are some of the wonderful colors of this past February's garden, my Daffodil painting, and some March gardening maintenance tips.
What a weird winter.
I don’t remember a winter like this ever, but I'm not complaining and really enjoyed the mild temperatures. By mid-February, daffodils, crocus, and hellebores were in full bloom, my camellia bud was about to open, and a beautifully glossy nandina greeted me daily.
A feast for the eyes so early in winter. I just couldn't resist painting the brilliant yellows of the daffodils against a vivid winter sky.

It's not too early to work in the garden. Here are some tips for March maintenance.
- Be sure that all dead foliage from last fall is cleared away.
- As young perennials continue their spring “rebirth,” take advantage of their wonderful ability to be divided. For added punch, masses of a single color can be created and/or brought to new areas of your garden. This way, too, bare spots can be filled, preventing weed growth.
Don’t forget to share your bounty with gardening buddies!
