APRIL 21- ALL IS GOOD

MULCH-- everything has been mulched..  and everyone seems very happy with the extra blanket for the spring.  Lilies, irises, poppies, tulips, crocuses, Hyacinths, Chionodoxa lucilae , grape Hyacinth , Garlic and Lupins are all making the presence known.  Peas that I planted two weeks ago are starting to germinate ( yes I dug one up  :)

THE BIRCH GROVE

Been culling the spruce seedlings and giving more room for the birch..   I LOVE MOSS  :)

The air itself is vibrancy.. all in anticipation of the coming rejuvenation

And it begins.. 

 

THE WONDEROUS AWAKENING

 

 

 

 

SPRING 2014

I, like a bear

Wake to the change in the sun heated air

Stir in my lair

Stoke up the fire, crawl back in bed

It snowed in the night

Lay down my head

 

closed eyes and to my surprise

A chorus of spring , in my mind starts to sing

Its too nice a day to do that.

I LOVE MOSS

Moss and me go way back-  Mom used to put me outside in the morning and I would build fern and most forts,, the smell was incredible

the aromatic humidity of the damp forest floor , floods over you

Like diving underwater, the aromatic humidity of the damp forest floor fills your senses as you enter the birch grove ravine...

As hoped,  nature begins to fill in the spaces left from silver-culturing the spruce hordes..:)

.. Mushaboom Gardens Glorious Swansong

A friend was surprised that fall was my favorite time of year in the garden


here is a couple thousand words...

moon over mushaboom

sooo beautiful

and in addition to that- everything is BEAUTIFUL

lovely time of year

and then comes...... the SHADE GARDENS

Well the help of a back hoe-  the third/bottom tier was created.   It will be the "growing grounds".  Soil is wonderful and deep  and gets lots of moisture and the scrub on the outside of the property shields it from the wind..  so its hot hot hot..:)  Its like a natural greenhouse.  IF that's not enough to drive a gardener wild,  it also helps to connect the property with a little project of mine .. shade gardens...
