Let the gardening begin

Yesterday was a warm, warm day.
Salvia 'Black and Blue', stored in the garage, is sprouting!!!
Many, many shoots coming up.By next week I should be able to take cuttings of these shoots to start many new plants. I want to have a whole row of these fronting the roses this year.
Lantana Camara plants are also growing, these were also potted up and stored in the garage.
A check of the ground around the sedums shows lots and lots of growth. The only one I am worried about is 'Purple Emperor'.
Hydrangeas have lots of buds, I wonder if I should cover them at night since the next few nights are going to be below freezing.
I also have many seeds to sow.
I saw the nursery had some tables with plants being set up yesterday when I was driving home yesterday.
A trip to the hardware store to buy bulbs, begonias, dahlias today perhaps?
Bluestone has 'Heliopsis Lorraine Sunshine' this year, that means I will have to, just have to place another order with them - maybe some Heucheras and Salvias as well to fill up the order form? So I will be lost in their catalog today :)
I can start digging the new Lasagna bed today.

It has been such a long time!
