What’s growing now: daffodils and hyacinth

Monday, April 6th, 2009 | General

It’s late, but better late than never. My hyacinth and daffodils have finally bloomed after our weekend of sunshine. The cherry blossoms on my street are finally starting to peek open and there are signs of life everywhere in the flower garden. My lilac has started budding and my bleeding heart bush is growing taller by the hour.

I also got a pleasant surprise this spring. The garlic bulbs that I tried to force last year didn’t do so hot. A few of them amounted to small heads, but the rest of the cloves that I planted seemed to disappear into nothing. This year, in their place, I found multiple stands of gorgeous little garlic growing in the cool spring weather. I’ve got them all planted in my borders around the rose bushes, as they are good companion plants. Fingers crossed, I’ll actually have a good garlic crop this year!
