Early



First!

Spent the morning raking and moving autumn mulch to the compost. Planted onions in all the hard to grow spots in front, I think they might do well. Bought good soil and spread it in critical places. Clawed out foxtail grass before it has a chance. Lot of bulbs promising flowers in the next week or month. Stripped the salvaged xmas trees and spread the needles, acid for the salty local soil.

With luck, the catnip and lamb's ears will take over that bare space of the verge in a few years. Early to be getting started, still.

Sometimes you have to encourage Spring to get it started.

Seems like it won't need much here this year.

A gleam of rich purple! Love to see the garden. The quiet brown won't last.

The brown is pretty overwhelming, but yes, a little color promises so much more.
