Fantastic weather and a mostly clear schedule helped me find my way deep into the garden today. It seemed like the perfect time to propagate some perennials. Specifically, the phlox and the catmint seemed primed for softwood cuttings. I took about 24 cuttings of each. I hope I got the timing right.

Tulips seem to be blooming early this year. Every year they surprise me with their beauty.

There are a lot of gorgeous things that caught my eye today.

I was not alone in the garden today–I had the best assistant ever, Rafa the wonder dog.
