I got started earlier on the garden than usual, worked in the cold more, got the mulch down earlier (120 bags of cocoa hulls bought and applied, 100 bags of bark mulch of which 60 have been applied so far) deadheaded last year's leftovers (we leave the seedheads on for the winter birds). The 21 photos below show the results. Now you know why TK is not knitting.

What a beautiful garden! I had no idea it was so large. I found many inspirations in it for my own very small yard, though I'll have to scale them down. It was a good month to get a jump on things in Wisconsin.
ReplyDeleteHi MCC--I agree! It has been a terrific spring here in WI for getting things under control.
ReplyDeleteMine IS a large garden, at least by the standards of one person mainly working in it. The yard is 1.5 acres altogether, and probably about a third of that is under cultivation of some sort. Keeps me busy!
Wow spectacular ! I don't know how you find Time to knit,blog , and enjoy the fruits of all your labors.
