Time to do an update of the Front Garden. I slacked on doing updates of the gardens last year because they never really got to where I wanted them. Hopefully things will be better this year and I'll be posting more updates. I'm doing the front because is it is really the only garden with anything green in it, never mind something blooming.
Gotta love petunias and snapdragons. This snapdragon reminds me of popcorn.
I'd love to go in here and plant some pentas and divide some irises, but my last frost date is still almost two months away, so for now I've got to wait. For now, I have to content myself with cleaning up dead stuff and keeping new weed growth to a minimum. Such a bummer because when it isn't rainy and cold, the weather is down right decent. Not hot at all and zero bugs. I've decided that the bugs will keep me out of the garden more than anything else in the summer.
Well here are some things that aren't bummers:
WORMS!!! Is it gross to take pictures of your compost? Probably, but I'm so excited I don't care. Got to love the worm poo! I've been using the excess water run off from the bin to water plants for a while now, but I can't wait to harvest some fresh new worm poo for the garden. The worms seem to have taken the freezing temps just fine, but they are very camera shy.
FREE TOOLS! Okay, not quite
free, but close. I found these clippers in a big pile of gardening stuff in the shed. Brand new and in the package! It think it is from a few Christmases ago when everyone I knew got me a pair of clippers. These got shoved to the back of the shelf and totally forgotten about. The best part is that I really needed a new pair.
GINGER! My Disney Ginger survived both squirrels and freezes this year. Maybe there is hope for a bloom on this one yet??
Well, that's it for me. What made you happy today??
