What's blooming in your yard?

[GoJays]

Chives are coming up like gangbusters, I thought for sure they'd die in the pot this past winter but nope. However, the tulips and ............. umm........ other bulbs that I put in another pot last fall are nowhere to be seen. I'm beginning to wonder if I imagined planting them out. Oh well, good thing they were only Dollarama bulbs, I didn't spend a fortune on them.

Ann , syster Ann , don't you see anything coming ??....

no, not yet !

lol

just to say.....everything is well hidden with a big snow blanket

[Ciel]

Chives-time to get those recipes on standby! Want to plant tarragon...

[GoJays]

lol! I said to DH today that chives are the one herb that I don't know what to do with

[Shirnette]

Fruit trees ( pear & peaches) as well as hydrangea & another plant whose name eludes me ( it is grasslike & shoots up long stalks with a flower at the tip in late April/ May) are budding now.

Well the front hardly has any snow left on it except behind the big blue spruce so I got out there today and cleaned up the beds, started cutting down my hedge, have 90 feet of it and boy am I stiff

They are awesome in stews, soups, marinades & as a garnish..I use this herb a LOT, pity we don't grow it.

At least you were finally able to get in there, Patty I was going to go out to clean up a bit today but then the rains hit.

filled one bag of yard waste outside
retrieved hanging basket of geraniums cut down and placed in dark.
added water, placed in partial sun and actually see some leaves coming up

Got all the hedge done today !!! 11 large bags of it!! Now it will fill in again properly. Still snow on the front lawn but was able to rake up quite a bit still. TOmorrow calling for 50mm of rain so now clean up until Tuesday now.

Some tips of hyacinths about 1 inch out now

Chives in and on everything - cooked anything and uncooked - like salads.

3rd pic-daffodils in upper left; tulips in foreground are taking off!
The blue tiny bell shaped flowers (4th pic) I called lilac-what are they really called?
Mystery bulb (2nd pic) looks like aloe plant but thinking more iris or gladiolus?
Noticed crocuses were outside! They must have come with the rains or just preceded them. The spider grass was the first green thing by St. Patrick's Day-had thought it was a crocus plant emerging. The nook where the grass is located is not part of a flowerbed but seems to be first place to spring a flower in March.

[Patty Smyth]

TOmorrow it is supposed to be 20!!!!! That should get rid of the snow even in the shady spots.

Ciel,

The little blue ones that you call lilac are actually called grape hyacinth (muscari). As for your other mystery plant, at first glance I thought it might have been a regular hyacinth but upon closer inspection I don't think it is.. the leaves on yours seem too thick and the green is lighter than a hyacinth. Post another picture when it gets a little bigger.
But then again, it could be a hyacinth.. here's a picture from Google images:

The other thing I wanted to add is it's definitely not a gladiolus or an iris. Glads are not hardy in Ontario (they're a Zone 7), they most definitely would not have survived the winter we had this year and iris shoots look like this:
