Spring Flower Fever

Spring came early to Montreal this year. To top it off, we also had a relatively mild winter. So, our plants in the garden is having a wild time now ...... just happy happy and growing like I've never seen them do before !

Our front yard: no grass, just perennials, bulbs and shrubs.

Both Doug and I are thrilled with the garden so far this year. We're just wondering now, hehe, if we are to enjoy milder winters in the years to come, what new plants (that are not hardy for our zone 5b winters) we can now add to our garden. All plant suggestions are welcome. :-)

Hmmmm, this must be what it's like to garden in England !

Hi Ken,

Love your garden....reminds me to take a breather sometimes and stop and smell the flowers. No, I didn't encounter any loading problems with your blog. All the photos loaded very quickly too! Hope you and DJ have a great road trip! Enjoy it - you both deserve it.
