Why I Oughta...

The signs of Spring are everywhere right now.  Including the green and purple-tipped foliage of Allium bulbs that have broken through the leaf litter layer that is currently *still* covering our garden beds. Below is a look that these crown-like tips bursting proud of their mulch layer.     Leave the leaves, indeed.  Probably too many this year.  But, the time to clean-up is fast arriving and these leaves will be a distant memory soon.  Hopefully...they'll stick around, but as tiny fragments of organic material.  Not these giant leaf-shaped forms of Oak leaves.
