C said it was fine for me to leave at lunchtime, and it was such a beautiful day that I did! I didn’t get it completely finished because…because crabgrass, but I extended the milkweed bed enough to put in the plants that I’d bought last month.

I even had help. Of course, my “help” kept grabbing the shovel, but he was enthusiastic!

Even with nearly no light, and I never watered them at all, the milkweed still knew spring was coming, and started to grow. I’m glad I got it in the ground; even if it gets cold again, it’ll still be better off there than in the garage.

I just learned that parsley is a biennial. Always thought it was an annual. It doesn’t produce good leaves the second year, though, so it needs seeding every year. Anyway, it’s alive.

I also moved the old lady’s clematis to the southwest corner of the house. It had leaves on the north side, but no blooms. I’m going to enlarge this bed, too, but not sure what will go here. I might take out the primrose (dunno), but I’ll probably leave the catnip.

Almost forgot my welcome wagon. The east side of the garage was covered with boxies. If I had box elder bushes, I’d be afraid…very afraid.
