It was a lovely morning in the garden today and for a change, it was warm and sunny. Although we had more than an inch of rain on Saturday, we were able to work in the beds.
The rain caused a little compaction in the keyhole garden but we can easily add more to top it off again before planting.
During last weekends Earn as You Learn work session, we constructed a new bed in the herb garden using a permaculture technique called hugelkulur.
Over in the gazebo, the daffodils are in full bloom.
The perennial garden, spring has definitely sprung! However, I am not sure when that yucca was planted in the bed.
The dead nettle is in full bloom too. We obviously will need to do a bit of weeding.
Things got a little out of control in the rain garden too. We were battling violets all last year and today was the day to get in there and dig them out.
After about two hours on hands and knees digging away, we claimed victory. We will have to stay on them to prevent them from colonizing again. But you have to admit, the rain garden looks amazing!
