Imagine having two consecutive days off work and having spectacular weather for working in the garden. That happened this week and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I got onion sets planted, got several bird houses up, transplanted and pruned some things, made some progress on the terraces and expanded some existing beds.
The garden appears to be slowing waking up from its winter nap. There isn't a lot to see yet but gardeners can see the changes taking place. The approach of spring is always an exciting time in the garden.
The only flowers I can find blooming at the moment are from the lone hellebore I planted last fall.

Helleborus x ballardiae Gold Collection 'Merlin' |
My neighbor has the most beautiful crocus blooming right now. Note to self - plant some in the fall!
I haven't added many plants to the garden lately but I did get a Weeping Sequoia planted at the driveway entrance a few weeks ago.

Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Pendulum' |
The terraced beds are almost finished (I think). One more load of rocks and I will finish the upper portion.
Getting more gravel spread at the base of the terraces. I plan to have the entire pathway in front of them in gravel.
Putting up birdhouses and I was very excited to see a Chickadee checking one out a few days ago.
