Garden status

The garden is greening up with recent rains. Here's a brief selection.

    Always treated the cobweb as an invasive weed that must be pulled from the garden. Here you are planting them! Will have to have a rethink on this, likewise with the Wallflower.
    We're (-18C) here and I am patiently waiting for my plants to break ground next month.

    I'm sure I'd treat them as weeds too if I lived in Canada.

    Wait until you see my thistle poppy ;-)
