Notes About The Poem

Ah the air is getting warmer. I raked out my back gardens and will be doing the front gardens next week. Must buy some dirt to add to one of my front gardens that needs it badly. Have one garden that I'm redoing for the butterflies and honey bees.                                                  Soooo looking forward to the flowers!

Spring Gardening

Raking out the garden,
Straightening the stones,
Thinning the perennials,
Removing old dog bones.

Cutting off dead branches,
Clearing out the hedge,
Burning all the rubbish,
Straighten gardens edge.

The air is finally warmer.
Spring flowers raise their heads.
The Tulips and the Hyacinths first,
To look up from their beds.

Next the Daffodils break ground,
Soon to raise their sunny faces,
And I rush to prepare the ground,
Make ready all their places.

Andrea Dietrich April 12, 2021 at 1:54 PM You are such a busy beaver. I hate to garden. That is why I have rose bushes, so easy to take care of. Anyway, I bet your garden looks fantastic, judging from this poem! Judy Ball April 13, 2021 at 12:29 PM Thanks so much Andrea. My rose garden is my favorite. But I have many other plants too because my yard is really big. God Bless, JB
