{This is Magnolia x loebneri ‘Leonard Messel’ – it’s my favorite Magnolia of all time}
{This is an Osmanthus. I love this plant because it’s evergreen, blooms early, the flowers smell HEAVENLY, and if you want to get crazy, you can plant and entire row and shear them into hedges}
{My big helper planting seeds…}
{One day so far this month, I was able to get 1/4 of the yard fully weeded and re-barked. Only 3/4 more to go!}
FINALLY, we have reached a turning point. More than any other month so far this year, the garden is truly alive. Things are growing, the sun is shining just a little bit longer, bugs and birds are out, pollen is a flurry, and we mowed the grass for the first time! Sky helped me plant a few flower seeds and instead of neatly distributing the seeds, entire packets were dumped in the same seed pot. I suppose that’s gardening with a 2 year old. It’s been so nice to be outside, pulling weeds and smelling fresh air, even if it’s only for a few minutes longer than last month. Come on summer….I’m ready!
