Are you getting itchy?
All of this nice weather makes me want to get out to the garden, clear off the mulch and dead plants from last fall, and get ready for spring.
So that is what I did Sunday. People were coming to take raspberry canes from a different flower bed so I worked up front until they arrived.
So many plants are making their way.
The tulips are quite high.
The hollyhocks are making an appearance.
The sedum is in a tightly knitted group, making me wonder if I should not do a little separating.
And there are a few things to look forward to seeing.
Hello, foxglove. Never had one of these before.
And then there is this plant. I am still not sure what it is although my guess would be grape hyacinth. Hopefully the picture is here although it was not on my preview.
I am trying to leave some of the mulch just in case another nasty ole freeze comes out way. But let me tell you, that is really hard to do. Instead, I plan to plant scarlet runner and black-eyed susan vine on one section, and hyacinth bean goes to another place. While I am at it, perhaps I will throw down some poppy seeds.
How are you getting at spring gardening chores?
