Spring has sprung and soil has been flung. Larry had the bright idea of removing various overgrown lavendars and geraniums and rose bushes that struggled against odds. Once the ground lay bare, trips to the various and sundry nurseries ( count 5)revealed a plan. But what to plant that would withstand the morning sun and the evening shade? Henry Fonda yellow rose tree won the first round followed by our first try at two azaleas. Some Zion daisies filled in along with verbena. I have no idea what else Larry planted. A variegated leafed something with some hopeful flowers blooming. Alot of wood chips and dirty jeans ended that project.
In the backyard for two weekends in a row in between unexpected showers, we planted eleven Earthboxes with pickling cucs, Japanese cucs, zucchini in pots as well, lots and lots of tomatoes, strawberries ( a first - well we'll see with our bird friends), lots of multi colored bell peppers. We had some clay pots around and we filled it with gigante jalapeno plants, green bunching onions, basil, and herbs.
Now the wait until mid June to July . . . .
