Crocuses in Bloom

I am a sucker for crocuses since they are what bloom first in my sunny Saginaw, Michigan garden. And it is always nice when the snow goes away and I can actually see them.

This has been a year for snow in Saginaw though I don't complain since I like to ski. But after a world weary winter I am ready for life of the garden variety. Let's me know that I too am kicking!

Need to know how to plant crocuses? Search for them at the Ohio State University PlantFacts Database a great resource for avid gardeners.

The hyacinths are poking through as are the alliums. Want color? Plant bulbs. Want to eat? Plant bulbs. Onions that is. Bulbs are an all purpose sort of plant, to eat or not to eat, well that is up to you. Just make sure they are safe from the squirrels who like to dig them up.
