Yard

• It's happy mowed. Dumped the dirt from the old sage pot onto a low space.

Pots

• Pansies blooming. Not much else happening. None of the geraniums have come through, no surprise since we didn't do much to protect them.

Salad garden

• Emptied the old sage pot and filled with, um, soil for your veggie garden, and popped in a store-bought pot of mint. (Ed bought the wrong kind of soil yesterday. We'll see how it does. Mint's not all that picky, I'm hoping.)
• Pulled up three of the bits of sage that overflowed the old pot and put into one of the old pots that used to sit just outside the fence gate. I want to see if that "takes" before moving the rest of the sage. It's really gotten wild.
• Moved some of stones marking the big square bed around the umbrella tree to start making a circle around that. Amazing how stones laid out on the grass sink so far in just a few year. Thinking we might build some square boxes to make raised beds (4 or 6 perhaps) for the salad garden proper, then fill in the around those with some kind of path stuff (gravel, bark, whatever's cheap). The more space that doesn't need to get mowed, the better. 

South Forty

• It's still there.

Potager

• A few of the seeds I planted yesterday seem to have come to the top of their soil, so I pushed them down a bit. Otherwise they look fine.

Entry

• Clematis growing happily. Me smiling in amazement.
