Life has been crazy lately and I haven't gotten around to posting here. I haven't done much in the way of gardening either.

One thing I have been working on is an article for the newspaper column. I finally got that done but this one required a bit of research so it took some time to get it all together. I'll tell you more about that another day.

My tulips have faded. I think I may cut them back tomorrow. I read somewhere that cutting the flower part off helps the energy to go into the bulb part and makes for healthier bulbs.

I also took the blooms off all the crocuses today. They'd been faded for a while but I didn't get around to taking them off until today.

Another thing I did today that is gardening related is I stirred up my compost. Composting is another thing I know nothing about but I'm trying to learn. I did some research on it last year and started a small compost bin last summer. I have been meaning to stir it and see what happened to it all winter but didn't get around to it until today. It looks pretty good. One thing I did learn is that egg shells do not decompose very quickly. I don't think I'll add egg shells anymore.

Anyway, it's late and I should be heading to bed.

Happy gardening!
