Mulched flower bed

Another year, another spring.

To my pleasant surprise, (well really why should I be surprised) most of my perennials came back. Each of them started with reddish shoots that peer through the soil and then open to review fresh green leaves. Awesome.

This weekend Canadian Tire advertised on their flyer a new product -- coconut husk mulch. It comes in a block that is dried and compressed. The package is a little bit bigger than a phone book. When hydrated, it covers about 12 sq ft. We got 4 packages in total and it covered our flower bed, barely. :-D
