It's been pouring down, off and on, for hours now. The seeds will be happy. I did a bit of gardening before the rain began. Small areas at a time, pulling up the grass that puts up the awful spiky seed stalks has taken over, the sort that catch in my socks, or dog fur, and burrows into skin. And I've been laying in black mustard seeds, clover too. Some that I did a few weeks ago is sprouting already. Looking forward to what the garden will become this year.
Along with the crocuses and irises, and soon the hyacinths.
The Hedge! is now a hedge, downright tiny. It'll grow, and we can keep it tidy now. That was all Neighbor's doing this year.

good to see growth..we're just too cold and wet,possibly more snow next weekend...and still the flowers bloom bravely...or is it foolhardily?
Oh spring rain, is there anything more hopeful. I hope your benevolent grasses flourish. I'm looking at crocus and thinking about what to displace the spreading lemon balm with.
gz,
Bit of both, I guess. The tenderest flowers come up through the snow.
Nimble,
I love my lemon balm, it crowds out the weeds. I do mow it down, though. The bees adore it. But I also have catnip, which is making it's own space. Planning on putting in Hummingbird Trumpet if I can find one this spring.
