Spring?

My plants seem to be doing okay.

My privet hedges are all green and growing already. About half my hostas have emerged from the mulch. One of my fruit trees has leaves on it already. The Rose of Sharon hedges are all getting leaves, and the Weeping Willows which I am growing as a container plant have greened out and are growing new branches. The two Royal Empress trees have yet to show signs of life though. Still waiting to see how they emerge/grow.

I put down two bags of weed and feed in the last couple of weeks (one on Friday before the rain), scalped the front yard and bagged the thatch and then used a rake to take up the dead grass clippings which had accumulated from last year. My yard is starting to green up slowly. We'll see how it does this year.

A friend of mine bought me some chicks and hens and I am watering those, and trying to figure out where to plant them. They're really cool and my grandma used to love those.
