Day in the Life of an Idiot

Irises are blooming vigorously out front, the two peonies are up, one showing buds, the azaleas have bloomed, though the rhododendron hasn't yet.

Bought snap pea and pole bean seeds, should probably plant them soon, and look into tomato starts (though that may be optimistic. Still pretty chilly overnights).

Clearing deadnettle from the small raised bed, I discovered that the thyme plant I'd put in last spring was flourishing, and in fact had to be trimmed back to untangle from the weeds. So yesterday dinner was chicken legs and thighs roasted with thyme, baked dressing with thyme subbing for half of the sage, and chicken/thyme gravy. (And canned sweet corn.)

I am a Thyme Lord.
