The Moss Garden

The moss gardening continues in the back yard, largely by leaf blower. I took some moss out of the woods (where it would have perished under leaf litter) and made a couple of "container" moss gardens on the front porch.

Earlier in the week, I saw someone digging up some moss on the mossy bank near the woods. I was driving past but should have stopped and asked him whether he was a gardener or botanist.

Watering the Moss

With a view towards having a Zen garden in the backyard, I've started watering the moss behind our house.

Cooler days

The days are finally starting to cool. It's time to plant arugula! Since it is now an effete, liberal vegetable, I plan to grow a lot of it.

Spring has Sprung

Spring has sprung here in the Piedmont. Ticks are here again.
