My grandson E must have acquired some green DNA from me, because he’s been out there whenever possible, rain or shine, creating a secret garden of his own.  It’s in the blood–or sap.  This is just the beginning of his “evil plan”–to introduce chickens!

I’m continuing to clear and clean up various beds for their new purposing: perennial veggies and fruits; veg bed annexes; and of course lots and lots of flowers.  Down in the lab, the cukes are taking over, demanding to be liberated!  Last night was hopefully the last freeze; now everyone can start hardening off outside.

The variegated trillium is starting to bloom!  Also comfrey.  Also tulips and iris!  And lots of mystery bulbs coming up.

On the way over today, I’ll vote in our local county election.  Ours is just a minor one, but every election is crucial now.
