Spring 2013

Well here it is after a long winter and the "green" is here. I expect a great and productive year in the garden and my flowers.
Last month or so has been moving Hostas and "Susans". Also focusing on the front curb patch near the road with ornamental grass and more "Susans". Basically this area hides the sewer main and old property marker and has been just a bunch of green junk mixed together. So I am clearing it down to the soil and planting from there. I left one small Lilac and Forsythia bush and the trees.
Also finishing up the front porch lattice enclosure and gate. Herb garden has been moved into pots and placed inside new lattice area entrance. NO dogs escaping now!
Most all of the veggies are in and a lot more sun now getting into the garden after downing the two trees that were blocking it on the northwest side. Planted "Susans" on each side of elevated beds to keep attracting the bees and butterflies.
Good news and bad news on the "kids". All three of the dogs are healthy and got good vet visit results. However, my best buddy of 15 years, Max Pie the Carpet Cat passed onto the Rainbow Bridge over the winter. Just old age and he was ready to go. But he was my upstairs office "assistant" and always there so he is missed VERY much.
I will load some more recent photos next post of the garden and enjoy your weekend!
