How does your gothic garden grow?

This is a good time to start planning, if you want to grow any outdoor plants this summer. Think about things like how much sun and rain your yard gets, how windy it is, what colours you want, etc. If you're going to try growing from seeds, you can start them indoors several weeks before it's time to plant outside, then transfer them when it's warmer.

This is the time of year I usually start planning my garden (and planting a few more bulbs hopefully to come up in spring), but this year there is too much snow outside to even think about it right now. I don't even know which of my current plants have survived being crushed to death by the weight of the snow piled on them. My juniper bush is still slanted, but we are going to try to prop it up tomorrow (too windy and still snowing today), but hopefully it can be saved. I just have to wait for everything to melt enough to see what has to be replaced and what will survive. It is very frustrating not knowing what is under all that snow.

I am planning too, to plant more lemons and I have a task, buy something with actual flowers (my mum took my flowers). I think it is simple enough, can't wait for it to stop snowing. :kiss:

I can't wait for the spring! Last fall I planted black tulips and amethyst crocuses. I can't wait to see if they made it through this bitter winter!

I planted some spireas (smallish shrubs, with white flowers) last summer, so I hope they survive the winter. I can't see them under the snow, but I can still see the markers I placed by them, so at least I know the neighbours haven't run over them with their ATVs.
