It's snowing here Dave, so I think you may see some, too. 21 degrees here tonight. I'm grateful for the moisture but sick of the cold.

Your yard is a wonderland! I love it when you share pics. It's good to see spring! Thank you.

Same story here in Belgium (and I presume also in most other parts in Europe).

I think spring here is more than a month too late too.

That's the positive point of most conifers: they give colour to your garden year-round. :)

Dave,

What did you replace that big ole Chamaecyparis obtusa with? Bottom right screen.

and what was the third year back .. the norm???

for every 60 degree day.. i get 3 in the 40's .. lawn really struggling to get from winter brown to green ... but lots of rain .... so deep moisture should be good..

thx for the pix

Ken 3rd year back fairly normal.

Mid April for things to stir here and by mid May transformation all but in. Deep moisture is good. In fact I am still transplanting since its so cool and for the most part cultivars are still dormant. Snow to move in about mid morning.

Dax...The Sham obtusa, I called it, was replaced with Cedrus libani var.atlantica 'Horstmann'. I tried Sham twice and died both times. This conifer in B&B plus 6 ft. in height will not support itself ,that big, with 90% of its root base gone. !-2 ft. potted versions will survive.but I am not going back there.

I thought it was an Atlantic cedar. I'm going to buy a seedling if I can find a spot. Believe it or not I drove around my entire property yesterday hoping to plant (2) dwarf conifers and I couldn't find a spot for my 40-year plan (for each specimen). I literally thought to myself, why am I grafting next-year?
