I have been spending brief moments in the yard. Cleaning a little here and a little there. Cleaned up the back center front garden area.. this year instead of planting herbs I am going to put in irises. I was browsing through some pictures of iris and realized how beautiful they are. So I plan to put in a few more iris in this area and then plant something for the summer months when the iris are not in bloom. Plan to mostly put in reblooming iris so that I have blooms in the spring and in the fall.
I cleaned out the veggie garden and planted carrots, lettuce, and beets. Tomorrow I will put in peas and radish. Beans and yellow beans also. Then I will put in two more raised beds for the next round of veggies that will be going in. I plan to put in herbs within the veggie garden area so that I can fence them off from Lewis as he tends to lift his leg on the herb plants and there is something disgusting about eating herbs that have dog doo on them.
I cleaned out in front of the veggie garden. I will want to amend the soil in this area and then plant some vines and other plants with an ornament as a focal point.
Enjoyed working out in the yard today.. birds singing and the wonderful smell of lilacs surrounded me while I worked. Weather was perfect. On the cool side, not too hot. Windy at times, but a joy to work outside in the cooler temperatures. Getting a good start on the garden and it is only the first part of May... Loving it.
