I’ve been busy (yes, sitting on my arse counts as busy if I want it to), and haven’t been keeping up with what little I have been doing.

I got some cheap dirt to fill in the new flowerbed.

Then, I got some garden soil last week, and mixed it into the cheap dirt in the new flowerbed. Still haven’t got anything planted in it, and really haven’t decided for certain what will be there, but at least there’s dirt. Boo seems to think it’s a fucking litterbox, so once I do get plants/seeds in, there will have to be chicken wire on top of it. Ugly, but I guess I can camouflage it with mulch, and better than having it torn up by a cat.

I took this a few days ago; the ginger is coming along nicely. It actually looks even better now, but it’s been grey and rainy, so I haven’t taken more pictures.

The cold snap didn’t faze the Virginia bluebells much; they are looking lovely!

The rain kind of flattened the pretty things, plus they’re down by the creek where they aren’t really visible anyway, so I cut them and brought them inside. I had to mix in some yellow daffy-down-dillies as well; the others tend to flop a bit. Still, they look lovely on the table, and the sun came out just enough that I could get the warm colours.
