Holly Molly! Your plants vegetation is far beyond om mine. Is it because of a very warm March weather this year? And it's funny you have daffodils, clematis, tulips and irises blooming at the same time! My clematis even doesn't start growing yet.

Yeah our March was really like April, plus the winter was really mild this year coldest temp was only 13 degrees F, I even had petunias over winter it was so warm. I know this year was crazy the tulips and daffodils it seems like have been blooming for like a month, they got confused I think by the weather. The tulips and daffodils are just finishing up now. Yeah my Clematis just went crazy this year started blooming really early, everything is early though this year. All the plants seem to be acting a little strange this weather is crazy, lol.

Wow thanks for the garden tour! I'd say you are dead even/maybe even ahead of us. The hostas and clematis look like the ones here! I really liked the old wash bin - turned - into a planter, it reminded me of one my folks use for the same purpose.

Tim that is bisetti bamboo on the left side of the yard, supposed to be the dwarf form but its getting tall, the bamboo on the right side is Yellow Fish pole Bamboo, I think not sure really though. Tim I got your Yucca seeds today, thanks again you sent me a very nice selection of seeds can't wait to see how these turn out, im going to try to plant them soon.
