Double Book Buy (whoops!) ~ Dehydrating Chive Blossoms

 

Whoops.  I guess donating two books, instead of one, is a good thing too, ha ha!

 I have been able to harvest chive blossoms, and it is rather early for that to happen.  You can read about how I did it HERE from last year.  We are only early on doing this by a few weeks, and all due to the rain this year.

While the chives are dehydrating, I picked more asparagus.  I will have to now replace my asparagus patch fence, and I will need to dig out a few wild raspberry plants the birds planted.

What's new?  Well, I found a new houseplant to add to our home, and love it.  We have also planted a new apple tree, a new plum tree to replace the one that died, a new lilac bush, and one new hydrangea (also died over winter).  New landscaping edging was upgraded on one flower bed, and another is being worked on during dry days.  

One volunteer cilantro plant, in the herb garden, survived the last frost.  One died.  One sage plant is looking iffy, but the other is springing to life pretty well.

One of the spring beauties in one of the flower beds - Columbine.

Home repairs continue, and we have discovered more that needs done.  We are however, very pleased with our progress.  I have been slacking with getting outside for hiking/walking, so hopefully the break in rainfall will allow that.
