| Jean and Greg's Angel |
The above photo is of Jean and Greg’s angel guarding the
entrance to their garden. Like many of us, they started from scratch with a
nearly blank slate last year. I’m happy to say that the Garden
of Nemesis contributed some plant material
to their efforts. If you’re in Rockford, Illinois
or close by, send an email and come by for some free daylilies!

Sometimes we have to hold the vision of our new garden until
it comes to fruition. Here are two pics of the berm. The above was taken in
April of 2004 and the one below yesterday from almost the exact same angle.

The weather has warmed up and the garden is “catching up”. Generally,
the bleeding heart is finished blooming before the iris pop out, but this rare
pic shows them blooming together.

I was a good girl this week and weeded and planted herbs and
veggies instead of making soap. The next two soaps are gestating: “Lavender
Fields” and “Synchronicity,” and will may be born as soon as tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the tomato and pepper plants I took time out to plant are sending
out new roots into the garden soil as we speak. The new herb garden on the
hugel we built last fall is planted with medicinal herbs such as black cohosh,
lavender,
soapwort and
marshmallow.
