I worked outside yesterday trying to restore some order to these overgrown flower beds. That compost last fall sure did the job. Which is a good thing, but it looks pretty rank now from almost daily rain. We've already exceeded our average rainfall for the month.
The spring bulbs are finished and technically you should let the leaves die back naturally. Not my favorite transition time in the garden as the lilies, perennials and weeds all try to elbow their way through the mess. I can't tell you how many innocent heads I've accidentally lopped off weeding.
The roses are late, but these bluebells are cheerful. They've spread everywhere, and I don't remember planting a single one. A garden mystery. The good thing is once they finish blooming you can forget about them for another year.
How about a happy picture to start the week? That's is Nova (left) and friends at a track meet. A beautiful natural athlete, just like her mom.
