I had a successful ‘gardening’ day! Today, I:
Pruned my roses.
Pruned perennials and grasses around the greenhouse and gave it all a good sweeping.
Did triage on my damaged wind chimes due to all the wind and hung a new one I ordered that arrived today. I’m nuts about wind chimes!
Turned SOME of the compost - some is still frozen. (Insert ‘Let It Go’ song, here...)
Picked up some sticks - but there are PLENTY more to pick. I’ll need the wagon or the UTV and trailer to get them all transported to the BIG burn pile.
Tomorrow will be more stick/limb/branch gathering and pruning the perennials across the front of The Manse. Sedum and perennial grasses and the Jackmanii purple Clematis. Very pedestrian but still oh-so lovely! (’Jack’ blooms on old and new wood, but I prefer to cut her down to the nub each season, then fertilize her a few times with a Bloom Booster (10-52-12) and she is gorgeous spring through fall.)
I also need to tote my 10-10-10 granular to all the fruit trees and blooming shrubs in the house yard. Spring rains will soak it in well. Super easy and it works like a charm.
Chives are up!
Tulips and Daffs are up!
My Magnolia survived and is ready to bloom!
Green and purple Sedum are all up!
I saw GREEN among the perennial grasses!
Fruit trees are still in bud, so fingers crossed. :)
