Spring Is Upon Us...

Here are a few pictures of my garden as it starts to emerge from winter into spring…

This year I am not only dedicating my time to learning more about gardening in general - on a higher level of understanding through Master Gardener Training. But also, as health and time allows, I will be clearing the Poison Ivy, Sticker Bushes, Garlic Mustard, Japanese Stilt Grass and all sorts of other invasive-type plants from the edge of the thin woods behind our house. I will replace them with things that will help support our local wildlife and their ecosystems. I want my children to have a place to explore without being overcome by dealings with these things. Not that I will be able to pull it all. One person cannot do it alone… But I will try.

I wonder if I could convince people to come help me - by "paying" them with beads, handmade jewelry, or some plants from my garden… If you are local and are interested, let me know…
