In an effort to make sure we always have something available for pollinators and just to keep the yard interesting, we'll track what's in bloom on our little lot every two weeks. This will help spotlight where and when we have gaps which will slowly but surely be filled in with more berries, herbs, and native shrubs and groundcovers. Ornamental plantings will be kept to a minimum, in favor of more useful plant species.
Spring is certainly on its way, but most days are still wet and gray. It's nice to have so many flowers already as a promise that warmer weather will be here soon.
