Filling in the gaps

This weekend was absolutely gorgeous, allowing me hours of time in the garden for some much needed cleanup. Much of the time was spent weeding and pulling grass that never stops appearing. And thanks to the big guy, most of the front beds are well mulched. Today I dedicated to filling out the catwalk border. The last of the tulips are nearing their end and there were still some major gaps. I transplanted a bunch of Iris that weren't being fully appreciated on the side of the house. They were starting to crowd each other out and should enjoy the break up. I also tucked in some strawberry plants for the little guy and others to snack on when taking a seat on the ledge.

He is quite the little helper in the garden. He even helped move the new hose pot around. Mostly he wanted it in his little pool but we finally convinced him otherwise.

I did manage to squeeze time in for some planting. Wooly time between the pavers around the deck, variegated hebe, coreopsis. Some dahlia bulbs also finally found their way in the ground, along with trillium that had given up and was sprouting still in the bag. Unfortunately after all that work, I was too tired to take photos so I'll have to share later. In my cleaning I spotted lots of things blooming that I hadn't yet noticed. The reward for such a productive weekend was more fresh veggies from the garden, including the first of our radishes. They were somewhat sweet with a little spicy kick. Delicious.

And just for fun, I'm sharing a picture of our home when we first bought it. I guess we have done a few things here and there!
