If I can only keep my eyes open, I plan to go out into the gardens today!
\nWe are supposed to have a 50% chance of rain today, and more rain coming the next few days. Most of this area is really saturated, but my gardens have dried enough for me to get into them.
\nTen days ago, we were in Indiana, visiting my youngest sister, Frankie<\/a>, for her birthday. I always enjoy a trip to the nursery with her. They are just a bit ahead of us on the last frost date for the spring, so we go and stock up for her gardens. I can never resist picking up a few plants for my gardens, too. This year, I seem to be attracted to small shrubs and perennials, but I brought home a few things for the container gardens, too.
\nI have an area under one of the front windows that seems to have some weeds despite a thick layer of mulch. I’m going to strip out the weeds, and then plant several things to create an English cottage garden look.
\nI’ve also ordered a catalog from Cooley’s Gardens<\/a>, in Oregon. Last year I was dividing the iris when EM became ill, and I doubt that those that were planted (late) will make it back. I’m looking at it as an opportunity to introduce a few new iris into my gardens.
\nThe little azalea we planted last year bloomed, and it’s gorgeous! The bridal wreath looks like it came through the winter well. I bought another dwarf lilac to replace one that died off two years ago. I hope this one will pull through. On my trip to our local nursery, I hope to pick up ornamental grasses for the back of the east driveway garden.
\nI’m halfway done weeding the herb garden walkways and boxes. I have one entire arm of the herb garden that I want to renovate. I can’t decide what I want to grow, so a visit to the nursery will help there, too. I’ll flip through some of my herb books and magazines to see if I can’t get some other ideas. I need to buy a LOT of basil, and some more parsley. I’d like to get at least two rosemary plants, and some lemon verbena.
\nOkay, enough talking. I better get to work! I hope you all have the chance to play in the dirt, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
