Forecast is for low 20s tonight, so I brought the pots of tender things into the enclosed back porch. When I took the big pots of tulips off the front steps, I saw the deer had been there.
Nuts. The idea was to keep them in pots so they would not be subject to depradations. But the deer came right up the sidewalk and to the stone steps. If I want to have these pretty tulips bloom out on my front steps, I will have to bring them in each night.
In the cold wind today Jim and I finished moving the yellowroot, and now that major project is all done. Great progress and we aren't even in April yet.
You can see how much space there is behind the curving line of shrubs now. I'll have to put some heavy mulch down to keep the space open, and the yellowroot will fill in a lot and even creep back up toward the spruces over time.
Bartlett came today and ground up the pear and redbud stumps with their funny radio controlled machine. They also pruned out the cracked branches from last fall's storm that I could not reach on the dogwood and maples.
Wow, the wind is howling right now. Jim got all the screens up in the warm weather so we could open windows, and now with March gales, it keens and makes a weird noise.
