Swallowtail on Ma's Lantana in 2009
Temps are up. Snow is gone. Spending time each day in the flower beds. Cleaning out winter mulch. Pruning/sawing back clematis, shrubs, and anything that needs a trim. The "bird blind", AKA mulch pile, AKA open compost storage pile in the back field gets bigger and bigger, taller and taller.
Making a list of annual flowers/herbs---especially ones that attract butterflies and bees . Focusing a lot on potted plants. Also, will look for heritage plants---zinnias, snapdragons, lantana, coleus...
Mass this AM. Running some errands and then back home to get outdoors and in the dirt.
Stay safe, healthy, and keep in touch.
Love, Ma
