It doesn't look like much, but two wheelbarrows full of weeds were removed from the garden plot and 10 bags of steer manure were turned into the soil. Not bad for four hours of work! The weather is improving and the flowers are enjoying the warmth and sunlight.
The calendula is always happy and has been blooming for weeks now. Two large plants were removed from the garden bed and transplanted to the compost pile where it won't matter if they self-seed again this year.
The first blooms from the bearded iris that have shown nothing but leaves for several years now.
Over-wintered borage is an early source of food for the local bees, who
swarm all over it in the heat of the day. I love the vibrant blue
flowers!
Squash, cuke, broccoli and cabbage seedlings are ready to plant out. This week's misty rain and cooler temps will be a perfect start for these little guys!
Peas in the greenhouse.
I had way more fun than
DoryMan, AKA SandMan, who spent the day stripping paint and sanding the cabin top of a client's project.
Princess Pookie demanded I sit down and make a lap at the end of the day. A rum and coke on the enclosed porch is the perfect reward for a hard day's work.

Have you tried Pimms & lemonade as an alternative to rum and coke at the end of a hard day in the garden? I recommend it highly.
I haven't, but it might be interesting. I'm not usually a fan of lemonade (and, really, it doesn't ever get what you might call "hot" here, not even "warm" IMHO) but I do like the occasional Mike's Hard Limeaid...
