Garden Dump 3.

Some crocus and yellow day lillies.

Dwarf Iris are also peeping. I didn't give them much hope after two dry years and two transplants, but those things are fighters.

One bush in a hedge of lemon balm. I'll get two or three wagonfulls of stalks out of it. Most will go on the garden for weed and pest control. Also makes good tea and a good add to haymaker's punch.

The whole bed with red and yellow day lillies, crocus, dwarf Iris, and hedge of lemon balm. I'll cover them back up for next weekend's cold snap after I'm done trimming last year's dead stalks.

Despite spending the winter enduring a polar vortex under a garbage bag, my thyme lived.

Found some sage sprouts under all those leaves too. I'ma plant more of that this year.

Bad pano of the whole herb and flower garden. I promise the pots aren't that crooked. Also photobomb from the dogwood. The canes were pretty crowded and half were dead, so I pruned them back pretty hard, watered and fertilized it.

This patio will have a porch swing and flower pots on it. Still a work in progress.

This is my other red day lilly bed. It got dug up pretty bad by the squirrels.

50 year old lilac hedge and oak tree of ~the same age. I gave the hedge the treatment last fall same as the dogwood. Also chopped so many fucking mulberries out of it. DON'T PLANT INVASIVES. Check with your local extension.
