April 29, 2007








or
















Overcast day. Activity included planting the dwarf pine Christmas tree that had been sitting on the deck, throwing out the collapsing herb boxes on the deck and consolidating the chives in one pot, putting in a small forsythia plant in the driveway, putting in two oriental poppy plants, some Iceland Poppy (papaver audicaule) and some Wooly Thyme (thymus pseudolanuginois). Some shady grass seed was also thrown on some bald spots on the lawn. Roses were pruned and fertilized. General weeding and Roundup sprayed on driveway.

Forsythia in full bloom -- looks like peak. Cherry tree by garage in blossom. Small cherry tree not blooming yet. Daffodils blooming, but not peak. Lily leaves emerging. No indication of ferns yet. First toad spotted on lawn.
