Friday I cut down some more ornamental grasses, and found additional tags for identifying the plants left behind. How wonderful! It was very windy, so really only spent an hour after work doing this clean-up.
The forcast said rain all weekend, so we made plans for a date on Saturday. Although lunch and a movie without the kids was a great option, the weather turned warmer and sunnier in the afternoon. And then by the time we picked up the kids from grandma's house, did a little grocery shopping, and started dinner, the sun had gone down and another day of gardening did not happen. Aside from a wonderful voicemail from my friend, Bob, it was a garden-free day.
We went to church on Sunday morning. Bob's message said he had perennials that he was clearing and thinning out, and wanted to bring them in for me. We gathered the several buckets of dirt, roots, rhisomes, and bulbs and brought them home to the cold wet rain of the afternoon. The buckets sit in the garage until I can get the iris, cinnamon ferns, rhubarb, and hostas into the ground. Maybe Monday or Tuesday afternoon will lend warmer weather so I can get out there in the garden again.
At least the rain is good for the plants and lawn. It's all looking so green. The tulip bulbs are higher, but still not open. I maybe see a bit of color, but it's hard to tell. New yellow daffodils are all over the front corner garden, mixed beneath the rose bushes, crawling plants and ornamental grasses. I never knew how good for the soul all this earth stuff is.
