Garden Work

·

I wrote about Karl’s work to remove the garlic mustard in our gardens last year. Looking at the yard this week, I can see that about 90% – if not more – of this invasive plant is gone. A great success so far.

And I can see how the Spring and Summer perennials have more room and are growing well.

The new poem I see today:

rain
daffodils grow and
rest on the wood path

Education note and photo:

Garlic mustard page has more information, at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

This picture of Garlic Mustard is from wpclipart. I am learning a little more each year.

We enjoyed a Spring drive. Karl had the idea of seeing the trees at M&T’s Gibbsville Orchard. It is interesting to see the shapes of the trees, as they have been so carefully pruned for years. Some still have their Spring flowers. We will return when their Gift Store is open.

We went to Cedar Grove, Wisconsin yesterday. We stopped at Windmill Gardens. Later I looked for more information to share with you. You can look at their Facebook page if you are interested.
