I just finished pulling up a bunch of the dead plants that were in my two standing gardens (I should have done this sooner, I know) and I had two little surprises.

First, one of those two bins has rich black soil, and the other has clay and dirt. So now I know which one needs more attention and which one just needs to be filled.

The other surprise is that, because I didn't pull my onions before winter, I have two really well grown happy patches of wild onions.

Also spent time pulling out a dead butterfly bush. It had been taken over by vines and several small oak trees growing through its underbrush. I will plant another one (or two). One thing I'm passionate about is keeping plants on my property to support pollenators and other wildlife and insects.
