02.27.2024 | Tuesday in Lent

An absolutely beautiful morning here in the Carondelet Garden in South Saint Louis.  The highs should reach the lower 80s this afternoon with a drastic cool front coming through late this evening into tomorrow.  For now, we will enjoy the sunshine and the balmy temperatures!

After that horrible freeze we had back in January I was afraid my garlic was a goner.  My faith was week but my garlic was strong.  Everything is looking really nice right now.  Very excited for the harvest this summer.  Is there anything better than fresh garlic?

I began the transformation of the Boulevard Garden yesterday and it has been slow work.  The Zoysia has put up a bit of a fight as I try to get things ready for our new Wildflower Pollinator Garden in the Boulevard.  It is a bit of a test for the old gardener this year.  I have but two relatively small strips between the sidewalk and street.  I'm taking one out this year (the other has over 100 crocus bulbs) and hoping in faith for a great result.  

It's a beautiful day today.  A good day for a good day to be sure.  I will get in a bit of gardening early, but this afternoon is Tax Day stuff.  Not fun, but necessary.  I hope you can enjoy some of the beautiful sunshine this Tuesday in Lent.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
