It was a long winter up here (Winnipeg, Canada), with spring delayed by a few horrible, rainy, cold weeks. Things seem to be finally improving, though on the Prairie one day could be baking while the next is snowing. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Tomorrow I'll be buying plants, but in the meantime my parents allowed me to dig up a bunch of stray lily-of-the-valley plants, which I planted in the north-facing front yard, as there's a big gap between two azalea bushes which are just barely budding now.I hope it spreads into a beautiful, thick mass in the coming years.
We also divided a mass of garlic chives, which I planted by two rose bushes. I'm planning to dot herbs all around the flower beds as part of a companion planting experiment.
Perennial herbs will go in the flower beds, and annuals will go in the vegetable garden, as that plot is dug up every year anyway. Planning some basil and dill by the tomatoes too, so I'll see how that enhances its flavor.
Pictures coming soon! Not much to see yet, and lets hope this weather keeps up.

An azalea bush!! How lovely! I haven't tried one here in south central Ontario because I've heard they don't like the cold. But if they can survive in Winnipeg, surely they must here. You've inspired me. Is it in a sheltered area? |

Good luck with the herbs. Everything sounds like it will be coming along. |
