I had put grass seed and clover seed both out last week before the big rains. Thinking that the rains would start the grass to grow. Today I see it all starting to sprout. Hurray!

I had to fix up some of the grass I messed up with my digging to plant bulbs. Thought I could be neater but some spots just messed up the grass and needed to replant more grass.

I like white clover in my lawn. So I always mix clover with my grass seed. The honeybees just love it when the clover blooms and so do I. For some reason clover blooming reminds me of summer days when I was a child.

Some Anemone bulbs just arrived today. I should go plant them. But I have read that you should soak them before planting so maybe I will do that. They are not really bulbs. Not exactly sure what one would call them as they really look like pieces of dried up dog turds! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Good thing the flowers are pretty. Never had Anemones before. I am hoping they will like the spots I have chosen and perennialize here. I bought an Anemone Blanda mixture. Otherwise or often called Grecian Windflowers or just Windflowers.
