In Maine, spring comes later than it does in other parts of the northeast, but it comes all in a rush. I wonder if you'll have the experience we sometimes have here when spring is even later than usual, that flowers that usually bloom sequentially all bloom at the same time. It creates an amazing mass of flowers! -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-19225878174300139712011-03-13T08:59:06.368-07:002011-03-13T08:59:06.368-07:00It looks great now.

I sure wish I could go out and do some planting but it's been raining is supposed to rain for the next 9 days.<br /><br />Anna - I hadn't put an article together, just haven't had time. I have it categorized as front yard garden, but think I will change it to front yard makeover. If you'd like to link to it that would be great, or I could save it for another month when I have time and you don't have to do it.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-91823186038501509302011-03-10T00:43:39.964-08:002011-03-10T00:43:39.964-08:00Whoa, Catherine, I see you changed the look of the...Whoa, Catherine, I see you changed the look of the blog.
