Is it Spring Yet?

I'm assuming I won't wake up to any more "surprise" snow and that my world will be inundated with the sights and sounds of spring, very soon. As a matter of fact, I heard a happy bird singing a morning tune today and cracked my bedroom window a bit. 
After morning coffee, I snuck off to the garden store to peruse the available, seasonal flowers.

I committed to the following:

• Two hosta bulbs, which I've always done my best to avoid, since they seem to be everyone's "favorite" and I am a garden rebel. 
• Black-Eyed-Susan bulbs, which I've never grown before. 
• Four Ranunculas, also a first for me. I couldn't resist them. They're gorgeous and multi-colored. They supposedly re-seed, but I have to research that...
  
• A few different walkable, ground covers; Corsican Mint, Mother-of-Thyme and Blue Star Creeper for a flagstone path I'm going to attempt to make
• Herbs! Finally! Thyme, Sage, Chamomile, Cilantro Coriander, Dill, Parsley and Basil
• Lavender seeds (lots of them!)
• Carrot seeds, wish me luck
• A bag of the pinkest Dahlias I could find
• A few bags of Miracle-Grow dirt

I'll be out pulling up dead plants, raking down both sides of the driveway and putting these flowers in as soon as I have a spare couple hours.
Stay tuned.
