Fertilizer Friday - Springing up!

Fertilizer Friday...According to Tootsie, "Fertilizer Friday is the day when gardeners from all over the world join in and share the blooms of their labors!" Let me tell you, some of these gardens are amazing!

It is springing up all over the place in my neck of the woods (don't let the April 1 snow fool you!). I'm still working hard on my greenhouse babies, but I couldn't resist showing you these pretty harbingers of Spring.
After five winters in a part of the country that actually has four seasons, I'm learning to love the tiny crocus. It is the first flower of Spring and as soon as I see them poking up, my heart gets just a little lighter. Like other bulbs, these multiply each year, so the few little bulbs I planted when we first moved here are creating a colorful show these days. We have lots of yellow, a little of that purple, and even a few white.

So, while my tulips and daffodils have only sent up green leaves, these pretty winter babies are already brightening my days with signs of things to come. How happy is that?
