Welcome to Toad Haven Gardens on March 15. Some of yesterdays snow still covers the flower bed next to the front porch, on the north. Later there will be Daffodils, Creeping Phlox, and gorgeous Violets in this area.
Here are new green shoots from the Yarrow planted on the south side of the house last summer. Only dried flower heads are blossoming here.
This is in the same corner of the dooryard patio garden that I showed, looking so dead, in February, with the first Viola to bloom this spring. I love the Johnnie-Jump-Ups that seed themselves all over the garden. Some winters they manage to bloom through the season, but definitely not this year.
In between the March snows we are getting lovely, sunny days with up to low 60s temps so I will soon feel that it is safe to remove the dead stalks and dry leaves that I leave over the winter to protect the plants and for seed heads to feed the winter birds. My fingers are just itching to get out there and do the spring cleaning.
Indoors, the Orchid, that I recently posted photos of, is still in full bloom.
See what's blooming all over the world, today, at May Dreams Gardens.

I saw crocuses today! Isn't spring grand? I too was almost ready to do some cleanup.
After a long winter - hello, Fran! Nice to see something blooming in your yard. A promise of things to come. I have a rhubarb plant up a few inches. And my mother has some beautiful lavender crocus blossoms up.
Hope you get to start your yardwork soon.
Blessings to you, Sande
