Our state inspection was this morning (we passed!) and we’re in full plant splitting mode. Today is catnip, irises, and a few more purple flowering raspberries that have begun sprouting from around the bases of our mature plants. Yesterday I gave Juniper the task of separating the yarrow cuttings from the mother plant, and she seemed to really enjoy it.
What’s growing on with you all?
Regarding your leaves and branches - consider leaving them for a bit longer! Pollinating insects will often emerge earlier than other insects like ladybugs and fireflies, which appreciate the leaf litter being available for raising their young.
Oh, thank you for this! Any excuse to enjoy one more weekend preparing/resting rather than doing the hard labor. Especially if it means I’m helping out our friends!
