Once the last frost has settled, everyone is anxious to get outside and enjoy the spring weather! While most individuals like to soak up the sun and observe the flowerbeds, only a select few voluntarily agree to help with planting and maintaining the landscape. Throughout the month of May people came forward that were willing to see if their thumbs are still green, and indeed they are! All one has to do is enter into our Garden area at Juniper Village at Mount Joy and see the growth and beauty of all that was planted. Early in the month tarragon, basil, rosemary, oregano, and lemon verbena were placed into the herb garden. What fun it is to rub and then smell the leaves of various delicious fresh herbs. Towards the end of May, a couple residents decided to help revive and revamp the raised bed by digging deep in the soil and planting tomatoes surrounded by a couple select flowers. Many individuals are looking forward to getting the two raspberry bushes in the ground around the beginning of June so that they can enjoy the bounty of their labor. Happy growing season!
