So much extra work in the garden this Spring
Here we are re-turfing the area where we dug out one of the rose beds and repairing damage done by lots of flooding
The other rose bed we dug out has not faired so well in the constant wet either
One can hardly see the rose shrubs we planted in the Autumn
They are so far behind and I'm hoping they will recover as the garden dries and warms up a little
This is just one week later and and already the grass is blending in
and there is a little colour
and my latest acquisition to my quirky corner
The garden is going to look a little sparse this year as I have dug out so many damaged shrubs and cut others back drastically

I came across this recently - it was left by a friend staying from Texas and just in case you are viewing on a small screen and cannot read it, it says:
God put me on earth
to accomplish
a certain number of things
Right now,
I am so far behind,
I will never die.
Say no more!

I feel like I'm always behind, too. Your yard is beginning to wake up after the long, hard wet season. It's going to be lovely. Don't give up - your work will pay off!

I love that saying!!!
You do have your work cut out for you in the garden this year. I hope that the roses can recover from all the wet weather. I also hope you have a better summer this year - for you AND the garden.
Due to the late Spring not a whole lot has been done here either. Your grass does look good and hopefully very soon more sunshine and warm weather will be with us.
I really like your 'quirky corner' Barbara. I looks sheltered and warm in the sunshine, and you can enjoy your pond from there . . . much nicer than the old shed I think! Goodbye to all those lovely roses, which I remember were in their full glory four years ago as we had tea in your garden! It's good to change things around now and then.
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get. At least it feels that way at times. Looks like you have had a lot of work to do in the garden.
Your garden is looking so lovely!! I'm working on mine as well (but I'm in Florida)
Barbara you have beautiful gardens, I know they will bring you lots of joy.
Have a Blessed day, Trisha
It looks nice and sunny there! Everything will be bursting soon. I don't recognize those flowers or the tree. What are they? We've had rain every day here in Maryland this week, but I've managed to work a little in the yard every day in between the showers. My weeds certainly have doubled in size!
I always say if I get to use up my fabric stash before I die, I'll live to be 500!

Thanks for your garden tour! You are making great progress, and I especially enjoy seeing your new little bird...a lovely permanent visitor :-)
Grass and plants are very tenacious and thrive even when we wonder about them. I hope your roses recover well.
Love the little ditty - my list of projects is always miles long.
