Biking in the Netherlands, spring? in Vermont

In March both Edwin and Linda were in the Netherlands for two weeks of biking and visiting family.  The weather was on the cold side, but often sunny, and we enjoyed the chance to see the variety of landscapes you can find.  Sometimes in March the daffodils and forsythia and other spring bloomers are in full show.  Not this year, but the grass was turning green and we found good picnic spots in the sun.
So we returned to Vermont at the end of March, and despite the cold here, most of the snow in Brattleboro was disappearing and we were able to be out in the gardens right away.  But winter seems to be having a hard time letting go, and here we are in mid-April and slush sculptures seem to be the order of the day.
We'd be glad to organize a bike tour to the Netherlands now!  Any takers?

In search of a gardener...

We made this video last year, but it still seems applicable whenever Edwin is working in a garden.

What a little sun will do...

Early April  - A south facing slope gives Edwin the chance to work on a stone project while waiting for the snow piles in other places to melt.  We are so glad to be out in the gardens one way or another.

Cleaning up the gardens in the fall keeps us pretty busy, so it is always good to have help.  Thanks Richard and Kim!

Garden creation in a month

Many eyes viewed the transformation of this garden from blank slate to fully installed in the last 5 weeks.  The project certainly kept us busy! Our garden work is essentially complete now, so the plants can start settling in.  There will still be some fences installed soon, and eventually some lights, but the essential design has become reality.
Here is a before and after comparison view, and a view from the middle.

There's no age limit to helping in the garden, or getting your feet wet.

Late afternoon light in the garden - it's looking and feeling like late summer these days.  Luckily at least some parts of the garden kept green and growing in the midst of the hot, dry summer we have had.
