The Garden and its Gerund Form



The last week of March, especially when the sun is out.

The earth is soft now, the crabgrass small and thinly rooted. When not weeding I am stripping the beds of dead matter, like the two azaleas I lost to drought. Those and a potted topiary boxwood are my biggest casualties from last summer.

On a healthier note, a daphne I planted ten years ago doubled in size -- this after years of sitting there, shivering. Also, as of noon yesterday, the year's first camellia!
