Gratuitous Domestic Posting (TM)- Outdoor Division

Woo Hoo! First bud has appeared in my perennial garden! It's a columbine that is actually growing up in the edge of the gravel path - last year's lot self-seeded all over the place and I don't have the heart to pull up the ones outside their beds.

Meanwhile, the azaleas and camilla are in full bloom and all of the peonies are covered in buds (and all the buds are covered in ants). Also, the buds are starting to come up on the iris.

And did I mention that I've actually cut back the Dicentra out front already? It's part of my pledgel to be a better pruner this year. I feel I've taken my first step into a larger gardening universe.

It would be a lot easier if I just posted pictures of all this instead of yammering about it. It suddenly dawned on me yesterday that if I could do this even with a cheap, disposable digital camera, there's no good reason why I shouldn't. So what do you guys think?

Go ahead and post pictures; make me feel even worse that I already do...
The forsythia are finally in bloom, here in the frozen north of Long Island and, the tulips are coming into their own. But, if you have a need to make me feel even more frozen than you already do... go ahead and post pictures of perrenials in bloom.
Yes, I would like that very much....

Contray to normal observation, you can be very cruel.

I'm for it. Anything to stop you writing about plants.

Can you take pictures of classical music too?

No pictures. I'd rather see a cat's ass on this blog.

Completely off topic, but what the hell is up with mu.nu all the time? I can only visit mu.nu sites on the rarest of occasions. It's really frustrating. I know others are having this problem. Enquiring minds, etc, etc...

Please post your gardening pics - it would save me from the Hell that is Google Image Search and I'd like to see whatever types of plants you've been writing about.

I must heartily concur with the INDeCent one.

I used to think cat blogging was for sissies, but flower blogging takes that to a whole new level.

What's next, show tunes? Gentle Sully fiskings?

I came for the Tolkein Geekery, I found...mulch.

I always forget you guys in DeeCee are behind us here in Nashville. My columbines are almost finished now.
