Waiting for the blossoms

I am so excited, and I can wait to see the garden in bloom! So far, lots of last year's plantings are peeking through the dirt, but its too early for the flowers yet. I may have a few others that will come in, so the list may grow. We've also planted a bunch of annuals and herbs, and I had to get a few seeds started just in case I have room later (if something else doesn't survive.) If everything thrives, some of the greehhouse plants will be put in pots for the summer.

• Lavender (the purple kind)
• Lantana
• Butterfly bush
