Oh joy more writings of Mike Mennonno. Ah but this is speificc to gardening. Yes and so I will have bits to add as my gardening progresses. Yesterday I planted the three hyacinth bulbs that I forced earlier this year. I allowed them to continue growing to allow the bulbs to start storing energy. I know that they probably will not bloom as fully as bulbs that were not forced. But they are nevertheless bulbs held and planted by my hands.One of my favorite sights of spring are the slight fractures of soil caused by bulb type plants. To see the soil raised and inside the break see the tip of a stem peeping out is a satisfying experience. Even tonight I saw the tiny red tips of hostas just now peeking out of the soil. Spring is here and the glory of the plant kingdom is upon us.So I could identify with Mr. Čapek's eloquent description. Of course there is the less delicate work as well. Building a new compost pile last year's need cook no longer. Channeling Lizzy Borden as I take down a tree that I could not work around (there are already three good sized trees in the yard). Soon there will be seed planting, hopefully a harvest of Alpine strawberries from the plants established last year, perhaps a few red raspberries, though I would like to plant blackberries if I could get some.To me gardens present the plant kingdom as a symphony in three movements. Spring establishes the theme by working out its initial rhythm of beginning, growth, climax and return to dormancy. It plays across our eyes with colorful brilliance and seducing scents. Summer reiterates the theme with infinite variations. Fall provides the recapitulation with grand climax and denouement. Winter then follows with an extended intermission. Makes me shiver.
