fence for da bulbs

I have a small "garden" area around my front stoop. There's not much to it... a lavender plant I inherited from the previous homeowner, the bulbs I planted last fall that have somehow survived despite my lack of garden skillz, and a potted hydrangea that was a gift from a friend when I moved in.

peeking crocuses

A part of me had doubts about whether or not the bulbs I planted in the fall would actually do anything. Not that it takes a ton of skill to plant bulbs... but if I expected nothing and got anything I'd consider myself successful.

I mentioned that my crocuses were starting to come up, which got me super excited. I check them regularly to see if there are any blooms yet--and finally there are!
