Camping in the Garden

Cheery fire.

The cat brought dinner.

I pulled the weeds last winter, and spread well-aged manure...
A little too well-aged... It came with weed seeds which grew with the cool season rains...

Got some manure that isn't as well-aged... Hoping for a few less weeds....

Top dressing the flowers after pulling out the weeds... Let's see how they do...

Toadflax.

I consider this winter annual to be a wildflower...

Coral honeysuckle.

Eastern columbine

Salvia

So far things are looking up...

We deserve a decent gardening year after the one we had last year...
