Mary tells me that I have azaleas and a hydrangea next to our solarium - the former is starting to form buds, and the latter has bright green new leaves.
And this is a beautiful surprise - a bleeding heart plant, which is apparently deer-resistant. (You can see the hydrangea next to it on the left.)
I have been attacking the lower lawn in back because it has a little crab-grass and a LOT of mint. It is war, with this mint. I pulled out a bunch a week or two ago and there is already more even in the spots I covered. It has a root network throughout the patch.
We have now twice seen a groundhog, who must have just emerged from hibernation, and we have some alarmingly large groundhog droppings in the lawn. Neither of us has the stomach to remove it yet.
Finally, I don't know what this is - probably a weed, but it's pretty. There is some in the middle of the back lawn, too. I suppose I ought to pull it up. UPDATE: it appears that this is Lesser Celandine, an invasive weed.
