I purchased plants, flowers, herbs, some a couple of weeks ago and they’re still not in the ground. Have been ready to go all-in but no. Of course, when I am willing and want to the weather is cold + dreary. So what? you say. Me too.

so in the ground they’re going today

In goes composted soil, plant food, even the markers (plastic tags and old forks + spoons I picked up last week at a secondhand store) so I will know where to find the bulbs that must be moved to a better location in the fall. Photos of them taken too! I will spread mulch tomorrow — trying to not overdo chores, not as young as yesterday. 

bees are hanging about + busy

The one thing I have kept up with is weeding: the downside to gardening. I will create a schedule|plan (DON’T. LAUGH.) for the next few weeks, I guess for the month of May, so that I will do what is necessary before impulses derail me and I end up with more than I can plant, care for, enjoy. Plus the hill before the house is still in shambles — it’s actually worse than shambles. Must wrap my head around it and figure out what to do and how. 

we shall see

Oh! And I bought bulbs and other preciousness, much of which I won’t see until next year, so I must consider when they will germinate and bloom and where to plant them. Could my mind be as green as my thumb?
