Summary
Katie Michaelson enjoys the first walk of the year in her garden, observing signs of spring and planning garden maintenance.
Abstract
Katie Michaelson takes advantage of the melted snow to embark on her first exploration of her garden for the year. Despite the possibility of more snowstorms, including potential April snowfalls, she notes the emergence of daffodil leaves and anticipates their yellow blooms as a harbinger of spring. Her garden, named "thyme" for its abundance of thyme varieties, requires raking and trimming. It is a rich tapestry of herbs and plants, including sage, oregano, chives, tarragon, chamomile, strawberries, yarrow, hyacinth, and miniature daffodils. Katie also looks forward to trimming her bushes and enjoying the beauty and fragrance of the bridal wreath and mock orange in their respective seasons. She invites readers to join her on this garden path and concludes with a personal note of sipping nettle tea.
