Work & Observations


Weeded front flower beds and uncovered all the bulb sprouts that are cumming up. All the early daffodils, tulips, and crocuses have started sprouting.


Moved all but three of the red clover from the front beds to the back gardens. Two went in the back of the Kitchen garden, two in the Tea and Herb garden, and 2 at the entrance to the Kitchen Garden. If those last two do well Ill move the 2 in the kitchen garden next to them. I need to see where the best place for them is first hence the dispersed placement.


I watered all the beds and dead headed the basil. I also pruned the oregano and cilantro in the Tea and Herb bed as well as that farva and butterfly bushes.


The farva may make a rebound. It seems like the song sparrows that have been coming to the back have been eating the aphids and other pest. I did have to pull up about 3 plants though as there was no real saving them. I will try to feed them all either tomorrow of Thursday.
