Important News For Land Mechanic Clients!

Denver watering restrictions.

Louisville and Lafayette too…

Update: Louisville likely to rescind restrictions.

missing the forest for the trees

unearthed at a corporate project earlier this season; it’s a section of irrigation pipe fitted with umpteen drip emitters for a bed of groundcovers. running microtubing to every plant wastes materials and discourages plants from spreading. I replaced 15 feet of this pipe, with over 200 emitters (!) with a single popup.

sproing!

suddenly, it’s spring.  signs everywhere…maples in flower; drifts of crocus punching through last season’s leafs; the all-day racket of birdlife.

cleanup cannot wait. some grasses are greening up and with tulip foliage getting tall we have just scant days to shear our beds indiscriminately.

it bee spring

first bee sighting. in crocus alba, author’s garden.
