It was a very laid back weekend. Most of the leaves are shredded, and I have no mulch or soil. So I spent the entire weekend just wandering around, pulling weeds, and day dreaming. Well, almost. I did a few things:
- I soaked some Hyacinth Bean seeds and Moonflower seeds in water. Sowed the Hyacinth beans in the Vegetable Garden. They aren't edible. But they are pretty. Sowed the Moonflower seeds under the arbor in the Long Border.
- Sowed a few more Cucumber seeds under the arbor in the Vegetable Garden.
- Turned the soil over in the Long Border where it was particularly weedy. Covered it with the last of my mulch and some shredded leaves.
- Turned the soil over in the Orchard in a few weedy spots and covered it with shredded leaves.
- Staked the tomatoes.
The Columbine is blooming. So pretty. The passion vine is loaded with buds. The roses all look so good! Healthy and full, no buds yet - it's a little early There are tiny little plums on the plum trees. The Ox Eye daisies are in bud. The Vegetable Garden looks healthy. The blackberry vines are covered in flowers. The Sweetspire is in bud. The bearded irises are sending up flower stalks. The Mexican Buckeyes are about to bloom. It's an awesome and awe inspiring thing to see. Spring. Rebirth. Second chances. Hope.
