Thursday's Yardening

Today I finished trimming grass around the outside of the wagon wheel garden, cut some of the twigs out of it, and mulched around the outside.

Forsythia bushes are beginning  to bloom.  More of the daffodils are opening.  I have daffodils that span a wide range of bloom times.  Pasture rose and crabapples are leafing out.

What's the name of your latest blooming daffodil?
I have the poet's daffodil which is pretty late but I keep wondering what else is out there that does well in our area?

I have no idea. I know a few of the ones I have, like the Salome because it's such a distinctive style. But most of my daffodils came in big mixed bags.

And the mail is arriving!

Your card with the bookmark arrived today. (Which is why I didn't mention it earlier...)
