The ground is still pretty sodden and we're expected to get a little bit more rain over the next day or so. I worked the front corner under the Rhody for a bit continuing to try to rid ourselves of the dreaded bamboo. The chickens absolutely loved getting worms as I turned over dirt.
The peas are up and so is the lettuce. Our red Oriental Poppy popped open its first blossom today and the irises April planted last summer look like they may blossom this weekend.
As the weather dries out, I'm looking forward to expanding the planting beds this weekend and beyond. I should be able to start planting a whole lot more in earnest late next week. Oh, and I have to mow again already. I am so glad that I am slowly getting rid of more and more of my lawn. I am keeping a small stretch in the back on which we can hang out during the summer in the shade.
