Let's Get Started

The sun is absolutely shining. I am desperate to lift or at least shuffle around the layer of leaves protecting my beds and see what's happening under there.
Is it too early to lift the mulch? I think it might be. The frost is still in the ground and the forecast nighttime lows are still zero-ish. Darn.
Guess I can pick up the dog mess and hunt for greenery for another week.

Welcome Spring to the Garden



The Witch Hazel is in bloom. It's late but hugely uplifting after this cold, endless winter.

Feels Like Spring

Yesterday's raucous rocketing temperatures, eighteen Celcius, melted most of the remaining snow on my north-facing garden. I'm desperate for the sun to rise. I want to get out there and pick away at frozen mulch, not removing it but separating the leaves so that the Spring bulbs can think about nudging through to the sun.
