Spring has sprung. It’s probably only temporary, and I know we’ll probably still get at least one more snow fall before spring is really truly here, but I don’t care. Today was absolutely beautiful, and we stayed outside as much as we could, getting a head start on the spring clean up, and getting quite

Lisa spent the week in LA and took the red-eye home last night. While I was waiting for her, I scooped as much crud as I could out of the pond, and turned the pump back on. We lost all our fish for the second year in a row. We told the landscaper we wanted

Even though it’s not specifically about the garden, it is about the outside part of the house, so I’ll mention it here anyway! Our anniversary gift to ourselves this year were two of these gargoyles, now climbing the sides of our log home. We absolutely love them, and are only sorry that they are so

We finally got out there to pull the glads and the dahlias. We’ve had four or five hard frosts already this year. (Isn’t this early for that? It feels very early.) So we went out after work tonight and ended up working a bit in the dark, but that’s okay. The glads are really reproducing

It’s amazing what a couple of hours after work can do out in the garden. I was just going to do a little deadheading on the tulip bed, and before you know it, we got quite a few things off the to-do list. I did get the tulips all cut off, and Frank spread bonemeal

Lisa had to take the train down to DC today, but the train has been rescheduled to leave at three, so we were able to get in little more gardening before she left. While we were up in Claremont to get the fish on Friday, we stopped in at Wal-mart to pick up some potting

I’d been hoping to get another full day of spring clean up in this weekend, because I got so far on Saturday that I was all inspired. Instead, it rained on Sunday, all day long. Hard and cold rain, that I had absolutely no interest in getting out in. Oh well! So much for those

It’s Saturday, it’s warm, I’ve been gone all week, and I couldn’t wait to get out there in the garden and get going. I started this year with my least favorite bed. I figure if I start the spring clean up here, or perhaps I’ll keep it under control and stop avoiding it so much.

We did a walk about after work today, just to see what’s coming up. There are definite daffs and species tulips all over the place at this point. The cats all had a great time following us around, though mostly they enjoyed playing around with me on the front porch deck, dashing around the sawmill

We both kept ourselves busy with gardening tasks today. We went up north this morning, looking for breakfast and grow bulbs. Breakfast was good, but neither Walmart, K-Mart, nor the pet store in Claremont had a single grow bulb for our shop light fixtures. We should have stocked up better when we saw them all
