Watered in the red clover seed I'd broadcast.  Rosa Canina is leafing out, Souvenir de Malmaisson rose is showing lush growth.  Must dig spot for the three heirloom roses from Richter's Herbs.  (Madame Hardy, Kazanlik and Old Moss roses).  It's late for bareroot planting, but I just now was able to afford them.  The lemon verbenas survived the winter here, I don't know yet about the lemon grass.  Many herbs in the flower beds are sprouting, and all the hyacinths are blooming.  My elder seems alive, after all, in spite of the fence falling on it, seems I see new growth sprouting around it's base...:)

Red Clover is coming up...Made soaps with last years herbs.  Have Rosemary/peppermint, lavender, lemon verbena, and Basil/Rosemary with Neroli & clary sage EO.  Home smells wonder full.  Nettles are thriving:)
