So here are a few shots of how things are looking. First the hostas in various stages of growth. You can see the blush of green on the trees. Won't be long before they're in full leaf.
These hostas next to the stone wall of the house are the farthest along.
Fiddle heads!
Love the bleeding heart!
In the vegetable garden the mesclun,
the tatsoi,
the snow peas,
the bok choy,
one of four broccoli,
and blueberry blossoms which mean blueberries this year.
In this bed I planted a second sowing of carrots and snow peas yesterday.
The spinach bed.
And I did have frost damage the other day. It killed off the volunteer pumpkins and tomatoes and damaged this hydrangea.
Finally, the gold fish are alive and well until we have a visit from a great blue heron again. The visit last spring wiped out most of them except for the ones who knew to hide. They have multiplied and now are available again to that bird.

Beautiful photos Marcia! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your spring with us!
Your hostas are gorgeous! What a pain to have to put out Liquid Fence all the time. I'm wondering if my newest area will be visited by deer. It's the only part of the garden not fenced in. Your fish are so pretty. When I first put goldfish in the big pond, I splurged on some butterfly goldfish. They were so pretty. And they were the first to get eaten! (I think by a raccoon.)
Your plants look marvelous! I especially like the photos of the Fiddleheads. Your Bleeding Hearts are very pretty. Made me remember to check on mine (which have just begun to bloom).
I hope the Chickadee decides to nest in your birdhouse. They are fun to watch.
So much is coming up in your garden. Your hostas are lovely...and those fiddleheads, gorgeous! I don't have a problem with deer because we have a fence, but I do have problems with rabbits. Sometimes my garden does not smell too good, either. :)
