Desdemona
Mountain Ash

Michaelmas Daisies
…and the Michaelmas Daisies are blooming!

Garden Spider
Spiders and spiderwebs abound…

Daddy Longlegs spider
…everywhere in the garden…

Spring Bulbs
…and it’s time to plant spring bulbs! Constance and I couldn’t resist this operatic-sounding narcissus.

Hori-hori Knife
We dug a deep hole with our favourite Hori-hori knife…

.
Bone meal
…sprinkled a bit of bone meal into the hole…

Plant
…and tucked in the bulbs, and covered them over with soil.

Garden assistant

I’ll look forward to seeing “Desdemona” in late winter. No doubt it will bring cheer.
