Another dank,gloomy day in Southern Indiana, but it's not raining! Outside was quiet. The kind of stillness you find only in winter. After collecting all our tools needed to clean up the garden path we started to rake up old leaves and bits and pieces of winter debris. The silence was a mantle settling over our shoulders under those gray skies and we both jumped a foot when a flock of Starlings thundered upward. Cleaning up for Spring is essential for this gardener, but the weather doesn't always cooperate and I do have another job. But you do what you can. Plans are to remove the old picket fence in the front of our house. I love the fence but it makes it difficult to tend to our front hill so we are moving the fence back and removing an old crab tree and other vegetation. The fence line will be moved back and give me brand new garden areas or rooms.
Yesterday I ordered four Arp Rosemary plants. They are suppose to be hardy in zone 6 with protection. Now I need to go outside and carry away the debris we raked up. It feels good to garden in February!
