HAPPY St. Patrick's Day!

A beautiful sunny day (on the heels of a very dark walk to the 7 a.m. club at the Cock & Bull). Sunshine, crocuses, columbine, tulips, and rhubarb.


The existing rhubarb is poking through, plus I planted the three additional plants that came in yesterday's mail. The ground is still pretty damp, but didn't seem too bad. Also moved one of the existing plants to give them a bit more breathing room. Hopefully I'll get a good harvest this year. Lots of worms in the rhubarb bed, too, another good sign.



Did some cleanup in the beds, too. Cut back the dead stuff from the peonies and sedum, then started on the fountain grass, but ran out of steam!














This last picture is a tulip piercing through the detritus. Nature never ceases to amaze ;)
