April's Over May So June

Tasks this weekend:

• Weeded Russian sage on back garage strip
• Weeded walk between the back beds
• Considered how to mulch strawberries since I have no straw, hmm
• Worked on triangle beds
• Weeded garage strip
• Continued removing boxwood
• Considered iris bed

• Readied one bin to be used again (the other will be cleaned for recycling)
• Planted two sweetpeas
• Weeded two raised beds - decided one is for tomato, the other?
• Planted two bachelor buttons

Organized. Bona Fide.

Another weekend - bit by bit

Between warming, drying, coffee-drinking sessions, I managed to:

• work on the pebble border (a tedious task I should probably give up on, ROI-wise)
• continue removing butterfly bush on sidewalk strip
• weed the walk between the raised beds
• move blue-flowering groundcover plant (name?) from North strip to under ash tree
• weed the crocosmia bed
• begin reclaiming* North fence strip
• thin arugula seedlings
• check recently transplanted lime cedar
• go to Garden Fever for: sweetpeas, bachelor buttons, parsley
• weed winterberry area

* Reclaim - when "weed" isn't a strong enough word.

Mugwort

Usually the mugwort comes up, blooms, and begins to fade before I even realize it's there. But with the early warm weather this year, I'm out in the yard early. Early enough to see the magic mugwort.
