getting in the mood

Category: springtime stuff | Posted: Wed Mar 07, 2012 4:18 pm

well, i saw my first robins today. i figured it wouldn't be too far away, when i saw a worm (a soggy one) on the walkway last week. that being said, it lets me know that very soon, will be outside getting my hands dirty...love it! not sure how much new stuff i'm going to get this year, but i really need to work more on the front flower bed. i'll probably spend more on dirt & peat moss than on actual flowers. i do want some primrose, though. (am going to ask my friend for another tote of old horse manure). my front garden is more of a shady spot, it faces south, and the ground is just awful. my back yard is mostly just a clean up of winter stuff, and i think i only want to move my penstemon. but, once i get going, that could change.
i'll be sharing alot of my garden with a friend who lost her son a couple of years ago. they built a nice garden down the street in the playground, not only to honor him, but to honor all the people in our neighborhood that have gone. she is getting a couple loads of dirt donated, and she would like to put in as many perennials as possible..it gets alot of sun, and well, so does my yard, and i have quite a few plants to give her.
i find gardening therapeutic. digging in the dirt seems to me a perfect time for reflection, working out frustrations and just getting my head in the right frame of mind for all kinds of things.
i know it's only the beginning of march, but time does go fast, and waits for no one...which means...get my butt in motion!......
oh, and by the way....full moon tonight!
