Preparing your herb garden for the coming winter can actually be done in late summer or early fall. In order to prepare your garden for winter, stop fertilizing when you are within about one month of a first hard frost. Most of your annual herbs will begin to die back during late summer and early fall months.

Looking for something profound to say this lovely Sunday afternoon, I stumbled upon
the following post at
Adventures in Self-Loathing. The entire post is worth reading.
"Tiny: ...Can you make waffles without the iron?
"Me: No. Those are called pancakes."
All I can say after that is, Dude, you just blew my mind.
Now, I'm going outside to play in the sunshine.

A combination of garden shrubs that I've always thought is way underutilized, is weigelas and old fashioned roses; in fact now that I think about it, I've never seen it mentioned anywhere. Not fancy enough, I guess.

It's supposed to be 53* today later. I plan to take advantage of this nice weather, you can beet on it! I was thinking I should go to the heron rookery, to check out the nests today, as March is the best time to view the nest repairs without the confusion of leaves in the way.

The Daffodils I bought from Harlow Carr flowering in the Boots chemist jug. These are large trumpeted and smell quite sweet.Its Mothers Day here today.
The winds have been blowing hard all night damaging tree's and fences. My garden fence is damaged again at the back. The plants just go with the air flow then spring back up.

There are more than a few little areas in our garden that still lie somewhere between a blank slate and a half-baked idea... steps to nowhere, paths that end in a brier patch, or meandering walls of uncertain purpose.
