I really enjoyed this post, @bengy. You really transformed your garden from something dry and unkempt to a happy garden that is ready to burst into life for the warm months. I think we have somewhat similar weather patterns here in Minnesota, though we are a week or two behind you in the emergence of spring. We also had a warm bout followed by snow and cold. I’m still wearing gloves a winter coat to all outdoor activities. It is supposed to warm up and get nice this weekend at last.
