I got around and mulched the utility box bed and the west side yard (aka wet shade side), and I had a little bit of mulch left to go around my green panda bamboo, which survived another winter but had some dead tips I trimmed off.
I have crocus about to open - if we had another 24 hours above freezing I think it would open, but we have about a week of freezing temps upon us. It's a high of 34ºF today and low of 14 tonight, so it's not feeling much like spring at all.
I wanted to show my spring mulch and clean up a bit, these will hopefully make some great "before" pictures for later this season. I also wanted to show what my Gladiator allium look like first emerging. I think we got 5 out of 6 to come up, with one MIA.

| Day before a hard freeze, don't expect these guys to stick around unfortunately |

 |
| Side yard looking pretty barren, I could use some structural plants |
 |
| Coral bell that the rabbits nibbled down to a nub is coming back with protection. Notice the Japanese andromeda staying green all winter and already flowering. You the real MVP! |
 |
| Utility box bed. Not sure if the Gaura are going to come back, so I'm devising some plans for what else I could put up here. |

| Hosta eye checking things out, trying to see if it's safe to come up yet (hint: it's not). |
