We're pretty safely out of the frost season now, so it's time to take care of this patch of empty mulch in front of my house.
This is where I removed the honsetail previously, and I wanted to give it a while to ensure that it wouldn't be popping back up. As can clearly be seen, it has not returned.
On the other side of the plumbing and hose reel is the rosemary that came with the house, and I wanted to get something that would be somewhat similar, but not just more rosemary.
And I definitely don't need more calla lily.
I was initially thinking I should get some lemon thyme, since it has a decent mounding habit and is relatively tasty, but the nursery wasn't stocking any. After a little humming and hawing, I picked up three of these.
I have some other varieties of sage in the yard already, but this particular cultivar is bred specifically for eating.
So let's go ahead and yeet these into the ground.
Well that was easy. Can't forget the irrigation, though.
And speaking of irrigation, the weather sensor for the irrigation controller that keeps my emotional support lawn watered got knocked off its mount recently.
This can't really measure the insolation and precipitation when it's dangling on the side of my house like this.
It's really supposed to be up here, though with the queen palm growing the way it is, it's probably a good idea to move it.
I think here should do.
I could have stapled the wire up a bit more securely, but whatever.
Speaking of things that are growing, the plum is in full bloom.
As are the daisies.
And the geraniums.
The rest of the garden is still waking up, so there's not much else to show right now. I'm sure that'll change in a few weeks.
