No matter how much the body is in the city, it is always a little colder in the garden. The snow has already melted but the earth is warming up slowly.
During the day the temperature is usually +12C but at night it still drops to +3C. Of course, the grass is ahead of all the plants, in some places it is already green.
I am always pleased to see how rhododendrons come to life after winter. Their leaves straighten and the plants begin to grow. Flower buds also increase in size.
Black currant bushes open their leaves. Soon the bushes will produce flower pods with small buds. Bees and bumblebees really love these early flowers on currants.
By the way, bees are already collecting nectar from crocuses and Leucojums (summer snowflake). This year, these small flowers did not survive the winter well and I will probably transplant them to another place in the fall.
My favorite huge climbing Flammentanz rose grows in the front garden. When it was smaller, I covered it for the winter. Over the years, It's become difficult for me to bend it down to the ground and cover it. This rose is very prickly. Now it's overwintering without shelter and it seems to me that this spring it looks good.
I notice changes in the plants every time I visit the garden. Spring brings new and joyful things. I visit the garden often now because my vegetable seedlings are growing and I'll plant them in the greenhouse soon.
All the best, take care!
