Ahhhhhhh.
[OK, so that's a bit of a cheat. I bought the Pericallis above at a Big Box Store. What can I say? I'm feeling desperate for color.]
So yesterday was the Ceremony of the Moving the Snow Shovel into the Basement and the Putting the Parkas away till next winter. Today was the first day of the Spring Races.
I'm racing to cut back last year's dead vegetation before this year's new green grows up and make the job that much harder.
I won with the chives.
But the catmint, Nepeta Walker's Low, might have gotten ahead of me. I have my "short" day tomorrow so I'll scootch out after giving lecture and rush home to try to finish the spring clean up.
And I will make a note that I need even more crocus for next year.
Did I mention I was desperate for flowers? So are the bees.
They were all over my crocus today.
Hmmm... At least the Dwarf Iris were able to grow through the dead perennial. Now how am I going to trim back the dead....
