Phil and I spent a couple of days in Two Holt's garden getting it ready for the return of all our favorite perennials. We raked up the old leaves and put on a fresh layer of pine straw. We washed pots and put them in place. We hauled a bit of wood scraps and two old rotten ladders to the county dump. We learned last year that we shouldn't plant annuals here until Memorial Day, but everything is ready for late spring/early summer planting! I look out over the empty garden and get excited as I think of what this space will look like in June! Just for my gardening records I snapped a few shots of the emerging perennials... Phil and I washed the birdbath and got it going for the birds. The birds have been feasting on peanuts and sunflower seeds we've fed them each day this week. I have enjoyed watching the chickadees, tufted titmouse, juncos, nuthatches, towhees, and cardinals flocking to Two Holt. It's been a great Spring Break, but now I'm ready to see Two Holt in all her summer garden glory--c'mon summer--Two Holt is ready!
