The garden is just starting to green up a little. The compost I laid down last October did a nice job and early growth is encouraging. A bigger surprise is the return of a few plants I had given up for dead.
The garden, in all its glory.
The garden is just shaking off the winter. Watching the daily growth is a good reminder why I planted it in the first place. Click here to see the garden in full bloom (July, 2002).

The stonecrop provides the lushest green in the garden.
The euonymus needed a little pruning, but it's survived the winter nicely.
The cranesbill (geraniums) came back strong and are spreading througout the garden. I thought they died off last autumn.
The Japanese Peonies survived! They were dried up twigs last year, but this year they are growing aggressively.
