spring has arrived

Our yard has burst into bloom the last couple of weeks. Bulbs...

Eastern red bud tree...


Sedum...

It's almost time to start spring planting. Actually, it is time. But we've been so busy doing other things that I've almost let the beginnings of spring pass me by. I am by no means a green thumb, but I enjoy learning. I watched my mom divide some clumps of society garlic today. It looked to me like she was hacking the thing apart, but she assured me that perennials are hardy and actually enjoy being divided every few years. You just plant the divided sections in a new place, and they take root again. I guess you could call that frugal gardening...
