I took full advantage of the way a gentle soaking can loosen up the soil just enough to make weed pulling so much easier and I cleaned out my back perennial bed.
It always surprises me what is hiding just beneath the surface waiting to greet Spring head on.
There was actually more blooming than I thought. Enough to gather a small bouquet for a friend this morning.
I am heading to the nursery this afternoon for some soil amendments and to see what I want to fill all this gorgeous brown dirt with.
What about you? What are you up to today? Whatever it is, I hope the sun shines down on your day.

Oh Patty ~ how I long to get in the garden and play in the dirt ~ sigh ~ It is snowing again here. Supposed to get 5-7 inches. ;-(
ReplyDeleteThere is a gorgeous snowfall outside, so some shoveling will be on the agenda this weekend. Have fun gardening, Patty!

Love your fresh and growing garden pictures, Patty! It is cold and windy and rainy here in the uk, but we are hoping tomorrow may be better to get outdoors. Wishing you a happy weekend.

Pretty photos Patty! I should be out in the yard working too, but instead, I am knitting and sewing today. February 1st...amazing, isn't it?

Loved the bit of rain we had as well. Will get in the garden this next week, I hope. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell, the sun has not shown its face all day, and I'm so jealous of you I could spit. Here I sit in a cold gray state and you live in the state full of sunshine and beaches. Where did I go wrong in that fork in the road I wonder.

I am so jealous! We're having winter. I'd love to weed after a little rain :)
ReplyDeleteHi Patty,
ReplyDeleteA little rain here too in the high desert, just enough to make my flowers that are still hanging in there a little happy.
Miss you,
Debbie
Thank you for sharing your flower photos! It's still mid-winter here and too cold for anything to grow, but Spring in coming eventually!
