    Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2026

    It was a lovely mild, sunny afternoon. I have weeded the Jewel Bed. Tulips and Camassias are coming up and some of the perennials are showing fresh new growth. It just needs mulching.

    Plant labels

    I use pencil, then at the end of season I collect all the labels. The ones that didn't break from the light get washed (using sponge and soap), then I use eraser to clean whatever written.
