spring is creeping in slowly

if you look carefully, there are little bits of spring popping up. along the roads you will see lots of early daffodils, although they are a little late this year. the cold weather has set everything back a few weeks. everything except the weeds. we made it out to the garden on both saturday and sunday to start the spring clean up.

the rain has sprouted a lot more weeds than we expected considering how cold it has been.

the gazebo is back in the rose garden after a short vacation in the fair grounds for the lawn and garden show. darry and mary put it back together and then they cleaned up the rose beds and gave them a new layer of pine straw mulch.

here is cherri planting seeds in the junior master gardeners bed. the seeds are for lettuces and radishes and they will be finished by the time the jmg's need the space.

the jmg beds are getting an addition of leaves to help amend the soil

nancy add the leaves and turning the soil in the jmg beds

mary, darry and nancy cleaning up the walkways in the main garden

what is left of the blackberry coffee cake. every sunday when we come out to the garden, i try to bring a fresh baked cake. join us for cake sometime!
