5-5-06 VERMONT: Another pretty day in the 70’s. I finished the sunflower bed adding some sand and ox poop to the bed to improve drainage and fertility. I am undecided about covering it. I built a wall on the road side of the culvert to keep the lower end from filling with sand. It will probably need to be extended. Next the roses got pruned and weeded. After dinner, I sprayed more tent caterpillars. Then I put in new water filters.
New blooms: forget-me-not, double blood root, service berry, dandelion and wild ginger. The ginger may have been out, I just remembered to look.
I watched a newt eat frog eggs in the big pond, possibly that explains the lack of tadpoles.
