the transplanted day lilies in front. not all of them came up/survived the winter in a plastic kiddie swimming pool. the squirrels dug up the daffodil bulbs that survived the pool. oh well. room for expansion now without needing to dig up more sod.

bins of shredded leaves. these were full to the top last fall. winter compacted them nicely.

the greenhouse is currently unheated and uninsulated. temps at night were still getting down to 40 and 50 at this point. only the cold hardy plants were out in the greenhouse. all my other seedlings are still in the house under my grow lights. either by this fall or next spring i hope to have some insulation and heating solutions installed.
