I'm sorry for missing last week, I was so in the thick of storm cleanup I genuinely forgot how days work. As an apology, here's a picture of one of our cherries ready to pop for spring:

i didn't have time to do a food garden this year, but i do have some general updates. this is only our second spring in this location, so i still feel like i'm getting to know the land.

planted tons of clover in bare spots around the yard
we've got lots of ground ivy, pink-sorrel, purple dead nettle, and bulbous buttercup growing in the yard
need to replant the mature rosemary out of the container and into the ground — not sure where to put it yet
my neglected succulent is flowering??? literally haven't thought about this housewarming gift in at least six months

I have a ton of respect for folks who express their relationship with the land they're stewarding in the way you have.

neglected succulent

Plants that do well with the STUN (Sheer, Total, Utter Neglect) method are the best. I bet you didn't even give yourself credit for practicing such advanced gardening techniques
