Not too sunny, but a beautiful day nonetheless. We got quite a bit done in the garden. Moved the curly willow out of the new back veggie plot; started potting up some of the (former) rock garden plants; put down more compost, then peat, then newspaper and straw. Our neighbor Greg wondered if we're going to be raising some goats. He thought we could put in a petting zoo. Hmmm, maybe...
The same neighbor, Greg, gave us his very large two-year-old Gooseberry bush so he could make room for more raspberries. We were glad to take it as it's something new to try. Above are photos of George putting it in the front yard.
And here's some chives growing in the front herb garden square.
And some Lady's Mantle on the south side of the house.
Iris from the front boulevard.
Also yarrow, blurry, from the boulevard. (Hey, planting in the boulevard is breaking a city ordinance and everybody's doing it, so what would a few backyard chickens matter?)
A beautiful Delphinium which needs to be transplanted soon.
And a little poke of blurry rhubarb, which I will divide hopefully soon.
Greg is a generous neighbor, to say the least. This is his truck, which becomes the neighborhood vehicle of choice when it's time to do yardwork or get compost or mulch from the city site. Thanks, Greg!
We're so happy to be outside and enjoying the signs of spring. Finally.
