The earth is throwing off her old drab winter wear and putting on bright colors and greens for spring. She is getting ready to march in the St. Patty’s day parade. Daffodils are blooming everywhere. The trees are flowering. Michael’s weeping cherry is sporting some cheerful blooms. The garden is growing as fast as we can eat it. The arugula is even starting to go to seed. It will be cut back real heavy to see if the harvest can be prolonged.
The last of the leaves in the front yard are finally picked up and mulched and put in the long bed that runs parallel to the sidewalk. That bed is only half mulch. The “stockpile” of mulch that has been accumulating in the back yard will need to be used up and maybe now that we have an electric leaf mulcher/blower/vacuum a few leaves from the street can be used. The time consuming part of that mulching project is laying down wet newspapers to cover the dirt.
A few more of the hardened cabbage, pak choy, parsley and cilantro plants went into the dirt today. It seems as if too many were started. At least as many as have been planted have been given away and there are still a bunch left.
