edpaffjr.comThe weather has been pretty wacky recently. Denver recorded a record high temperature of 72 degrees this past Saturday, which we unfortunately missed. When we got back into town on Sunday night, there was a few inches of snow on the ground. This all quickly melted over the next couple of days, and I quickly realized that our flowers are coming up. Last fall we planted a ton of tulip and daffodil bulbs near the back fence. Well the side of the fence that gets lots of sun is already starting to sprout, while the other side is still buried in snow from the winter storms. And just as I think spring is coming, we get another couple inches this morning, with possibly more as the day goes on. I’m sure the snow is great for the ski resorts, but I think I too am ready for spring, just like the flowers are.

[...] As I mentioned last week, we’ve got lots of spring activity going on around the house with the incredible weather Denver has been having. In addition to the bulbs in the back coming up more and more with each passing day (no blooms yet), the flowers I noticed last year in the front yard are back as well. When we redid the front planting beds, I moved the bulbs around a little and spread them out some, but they still look really cool and are in full bloom. The purple weeds in the yard are back as well, though I didn’t actually remember seeing them before until I checked the entry from last year. I guess these blooms fade pretty quickly and aren’t seen the rest of the spring and summer. I want to put down some fertilizer on the yard, so maybe I can find something that will take care of the weeds too. I honestly have no idea when I should spread something like this, does anyone have advice? No Responses to “Ready For Spring” Response Feed Trackback Address Leave a Reply [...]
