Spring is here!

It's been such a beautiful weekend.

A bit chilly still, but the sun is out.

It was time to do some more hardcore

gardening!

This is the before and after of my herb garden.

I was overrun by chives. 

I gave a lot away.

I kept a tiny patch and also

put some in my flower beds

in the back yard. The flowers are

great for the bees.

Strange how everything I do

in the garden now is for the bees.

I also leave all the dead stems and flower

heads for  the winter to help the bugs and

birds overwinter.

Jamie helped us  pick up the twigs, weeds and branches and brought

them in the tractor to our compost pile.

There was  alot of branches. Phew!

Some shrubs might have been over trimmed.

Oh well. 

I  also invested in golden raspberry canes and

blackberry canes.

Since we are still waiting for the wood

to get here I planted them in pots for now.

Today was a nice day also.  But I actually sat down and watched

last night's episode of Call the Midwife and the

last 4 episodes of Outlander.

My knees can't handle two days in a row of gardening.

And that's with a foam kneeling pad.

Have a Blessed Day!|
