Signs of Spring

Now as we see the first spring flowers it is time to finish the yard clean-up and plan the annual flower beds.

Early crocuses in a bed surrounding a service berry bush. Early bulbs like the crocus are able to flower and re-nourish the bulb before the tree leaves appear. Therefore they can be planted under trees and bushes; areas that are too shaded for many other flowers.
