Looks like rain, so I drained the rain barrels into the gardens, hoping for a free refill.

Today's walk around the garden starts with the new herb garden. Not pictured: the dozen daffodil blooms in my neighbor's yard, the magnolias three doors down, the perilla, sunflower volunteers...

Mary & Wyatt put in the transplants and we added a few seeds for fun. If we don't get frosted, we have quite a head start on the year.

The layout:

Moss roses coming back

 Alyssum?

 I split and relocated this nice thing that I can never remember the name of. Better picture next.

Better picture of the 2nd transplant of the whateveritis.

 Rhubarb is happy. New, more pleasant stacking of bricks.

 The pile in the corner is the trumpet vine and small tree I cut down over the weekend. Nice brush pile.

 No more hog weed
