We have started the first step in preparing for our spring flowers, by doing the annual burning of the bulb field! Now we just need spring....and flowers!

Not being a gardener, I didn't know "burning of the bulb field" was a thing!

Well, it does help. That is why they have "controlled burns" in the National Forests. It adds vital nutrients to gets rid of the choking ground clutter.

Of course, my bulb field is done on a much smaller scale!!

That’s right. We used to see bees everywhere. Now there’s hardly any. Here we are asked to not mow the lawn until the dandelions have flowered which is usually the middle to the end of May. LOVE the sign.

I used to do gardening almost daily once but never really liked it - now I live in a forest which looks after itself and still don't like gardening BUT I do sometimes like looking at other peoples gardens for a while until a get somewhat tired then I nod off??
