Gardening in Pennsylvania ~ March 2016 GBBD


Helleborus orientalis soaking up the sun on Hellebore Hill.
What a change in one month! February saw our garden covered in snow and enduring low temperature. Now, everything is sunny and popping up everywhere! Come enjoy some color with me...

Crocus tommasinianus for Early Spring

The bees are out drinking it up in the spring sunshine.
