Things are starting to bloom in the backyard, and it appears I haven’t killed anything yet. Go me!! Did more weeding this morning - the rains from the past couple days do make it easier to pull those suckers up. I think I am going to have to start buying mulch by the truckload, though…
Some of the iris have heaved, so I need to get out there tomorrow morning and dig some new holes and get them back in the ground, it may be too late to get them to bloom, but the stalks at least appear to be healthy, so I think they’ll at least survive.
Bearded iris, don’t know the name of this one though:
No clue what these are, they may actually be weeds (edit: they are forget-me-nots)
Wild violets, again, possibly weeds, but pretty
I know what these are!!!!! The first of the azaleas to bloom
And some sort of really gorgeous flowering tree (possibly ornamental cherry?), that needs some pruning… Need to clip off a piece and take it to the nursery and find out what it is, so I can figure out how to prune it right: (edit: Kwanzaan Cherry)
