May and June. Soft syllables, gentle names for the two best months in the garden year: cool, misty mornings gently burned away with a warming spring sun, followed by breezy afternoons and chilly nights. The discussion of philosophy is over; it's time for work to begin."Time for work to begin". And boy, is he right! Mowing, planting, weeding, starting vegetables, potting annuals, trimming spring blooming bushes, starting a new compost pile, new beds, walking the yard looking to see what survived the winter, and what didn't, the list just goes on forever!
