The sadly neglected woodland garden (aka poorly planned vegetable garden) got some TLC this weekend. I took out all the weeds, dug in 200 lbs of compost, and added 150 lbs of mulch. I'm a little short on mulch, so have to add a bit more at some point. I also added a few plants - two foxgloves (one is supposed to be chocolate colored!), several primrose, lamium, lupines I dug up from the woods out back, and violets dug up from the lawn. We'll see what takes. I also noticed what I think is a trillium growing! I planted 3 last fall - I think this is one of them! I'll be royally pissed if it's just a weed...
I also moved my strawberry plant closer to the house. It was just getting mercilessly chomped by the damn rabbits where it was. The woods are flush with new growth and fun stuff to eat. WHY do they insist on taking down my crocus and strawberry plants??
