The hostas had poked their noses up a few days ago, before I really began to fear that something was killing all the plants in that corner.
They were kind enough to stand in the light for me.
Now I have to hope that turkeys don't like hosta as much as deer do. The deer don't ever leave foot prints this close to the house, but the snow showed that the turkeys come right up within a couple of feet of the walls.
Boy, do they ever look good...I just love to see the new life as it pokes through the earth. You are right...they must have been working very hard all day.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting to see anything peek up through the ground here, Solarity. Lovely hostas. I can't imagine what damage the turkeys could do. We have deer, but don't experience as much problem with them bothering the plants as others do here.
ReplyDeleteThe first few plants in the Spring always give me a lift. I have a little patch of crocus that pop up in late winter/early spring that I wait for anxiously each year.
ReplyDeleteNo deer in my garden - luckily, because husband has gone deer hunting this morning!
Now I have to go outside and check to see if my lily-of-the-valley is up yet! Yesterday I noticed some of the delphiniums are up (as are a lot of the dandelions and a whole bunch of crab-grass..... sigh)
