What great weather we've been having! Finally! The snow is finally all gone from my garden.

The crocuses in my front flower bed seem to have fulfilled their life span. I wish I had taken some pictures of them while they were in bloom, but I kept forgetting to get batteries for the camera. The crocuses were beautiful, but they have all faded away now, however, the folliage from them is still quite nice. It's a nice addition to the flower bed. I wish I had known years ago how easy they were to grow. They may not last long, but they sure are a pleasure to enjoy for a while and it's neat how they come right after the snow.

The tulips in the flower beds at the front and side of the house are doing great. They are so pretty. I love how they open wide in the day time, and close up at night. Once again, I wish I had known years ago how easy they are to grow.

The crocuses in the flower bed in the back yard are in bloom. Yesterday I cleared the leaves and debris off the flower beds in the back yard and was pleased to discover that a number of the plants are showing signs of growth. I can't wait for them to grow so that I can start trying to identify them. My aunt gave me most of the plants in that flower bed in the fall last year and I have no idea what they are. The crocuses I planted myself, along with some tulips which should flower in the next week or so.

Not only have I been busy in the garden, but I've also been busy on the computer. I'm a bit of a computer geek. I've set up a couple of things especially for my gardening interests.

I was really disappointed to find out that there wasn't any feedback method provided on my blog. My sister suggested that I get an email address especially for the blog and post it on the blog so that people can provide me feedback if they wish, so that's what I did. My email address is greenhorngardener@yahoo.ca. You can click on the link at the top of the page on the left hand side to send me an email. I'd love to hear about your gardening experiences and tips.

I've also started a gardening web site. It's not much yet, but it will be. Right now all I did was use the page maker wizard at the host site to make a first page. I wanted to get something up there real fast just to get started and that was the fastest way to do it. The address is http://ca.geocities.com/greenhorngardener/photopagefloral.html . You can click on the link at the top of the page on the left hand side to check it out. It's just a page of some pictures from my garden last year. My plan is to develop this site into a place for Newfoundland gardeners to share their gardening experiences. I hope that others will share photos and writeups about their own gardens. Let me know if you're interested. I'll keep you updated as the site develops.

Anyway, I should go and help my family cheer on our hockey team. Chat later!
