Garden Update May 2020

Spring weeding in the Woldumar Herb Garden has begun. It’s always exciting to see what has survived winter’s cold temperatures. Warm weather has brought an end to the truce between the bee balm and the lemon balm.  Both send out roots to expand their territory, and they have both invaded the mulched demilitarized zone between them.  They also escape the garden by creeping under the fence.  They are both aggressive spreaders but are ...Read More
