Look at this scrappy bit of border. Early in the spring, things are just poking up from the ground. The snow is gone for good. That's when my green thumb gets itchy, and the only cure for it is to get outside for once!
Here we've decided to make the border slightly bigger (and I'm also renovation the rock garden at the end there, right out of sight). It's at this point that I find strawberry plants, and feel the need to inform mum of each and every one of them.
Mulching is a must-have. Once it decays, it puts nutrients back in the soil. Well-rotted compost or wood chips work well for this.
Let the planting commence! There are a few new-comers here; itty bitty pansies/violas which are just the right size to plant close to stepping stones. I've also saved a fern from somewhere to put next to the eaves tube drop-off thingy.
Suddenly everything is super green! My favourite colour! and of course all the other colours that go with it.
