A section of the wisteria against the house.I think we've reached the point in spring where we feel we've regained the upper hand in the yard. After winter, everything is such a mess and it's overwhelming; there's so much to do. But after doing a few chores like cutting dead growth back, some weeding and trimming, cutting the grass, burning old stuff, and (this year especially) removing the downed trees, the yard is looking like its old self again.
There is still a lot to do. The vegetable garden still needs tilling before we plant in May. There's still a lot of trimming to do. But it doesn't feel overwhelming any more.
So beautiful! I can't wait for our snow to melt so we can get to our spring clean up also.
ReplyDeleteI love wisteria. I don't have enough sunny spots to put it. Darn.
ReplyDeleteIn regard to your mower, I have a Honda; it works beautifully.
Walt - remember what I warned you about wisteria - It will attack you, wrapping it's tenticles around everything. It's like 20,000 leagues under the sea. Beware.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I will post the most lovely growth of wisteria we saw on our travels after leaving Albi. Just a whole wall of light purple.

I've heard bad things about Wisteria also, but can't help loving it. It takes over like kudzu in our woodlands and takes my breath away every spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I know spring is coming here because we keep having April showers.
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I'm happy to say the lavendar is coming back again this year. And some of the other plants. But I'm dreading the first sign of the morning glory. Lovely flower, but the vine likes to take over everything. =/
ReplyDeleteThe weather in Europe is very strange.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!

jp, I have mint that likes to do that, so I confined it to the inside of rock well. Seems to be staying put so far.
starman, I think the weather is strange all over the world any more.
erika, thanks!
