I spent most of yesterday morning working outside, it was such perfect spring weather. I spread fertilizer on the flower beds and pulled weeds and removed fallen leaves just in time for today’s rain. It was very gratifying to see that everything I planted last fall survived the winter and is emerging. The Hellebore White lady now has eight blooms!! The daffodils are in full bloom and the Snowdrops are finally finished and drooping their seed pods to the earth, to hopefully spread the patch larger for next year.The mulch with Preen that I spread last fall around the newly planted blackberries and perennials really did it’s job!\u00a0 The only weeds to pull out were sprouts from grass roots that didn’t get removed. I will be buying more for sure!<\/p>\n
