The garden is ready to go! Salvia Greggi didn’t die back and I think it even reseeded from all the rains we had through December and January. Yeah! This means more plants for my new side garden.The Mexican Bush Sage (Salvia leucantha) is sprouting up in a hurry too, and I am so impressed with the Artemisia. What an excellent addition to the front, sunny rock garden! It did not even flinch in the scorching heat we had last year and on top of that it looks great after the short frosts we had. What’s not to love!

Time to get dirty and do some spring cleanup – which includes adding some much needed compost and mulch to the plants and trimming the frost killed foliage.
