Spring and it's garden time

      My lilac is blooming for the first time in 3 years. I have been waiting for this!  Now that it has decided to like nj I guess we can't leave.
     The garden has had a head start.  The cold snap has destroyed the magnolias blooming magnificence.  They were all out one day and brown and wilted the next.  I guess the ones that were pokey will have their own time!  Japanese maple and blueberry.Both tough guys. 
      Oh, and Hydrengea and Lacy hydrangea.  And some garlic etc.  Amy eating some rooted pea sprouts, doggie health food.
