Ha! Probably too busy. Hmmm - no probablies about it. I'm still taking down my 14-foot Christmas tree. All the ornaments are down and packed away, and the bottom quarter lights are off and rolled up. I should have accepted a friend's offer to help with the tree, but ... Also, I work from home and the work is mostly seasonal, so I'm fortunate that I can make my own schedule which certainly helps to accomplish gardening tasks.
Geoff, I would not drive 2 hours to go to a meeting either. The best thing about belonging to these groups -- to me, anyway -- is the people I have met. They are what keep me going to the meetings. Absolutely nothing else!
A friend with whom I've shared dahlias with over the years gave me at least one of most all of what she had last Sunday. I'm behind on the tree because of course I had to divide and clean up all of the tubers she gave me.
They are sitting in the plant room warming. I potted up two that had really pronounced eyes. Now I need to check what I put into storage and see if anything is viable. I'm sure there are a few, but not a lot. Juggling all of my projects does get tricky this time of year. And, of course, I haven't done my taxes yet.
To all who celebrate, Happy Easter. Here are a few of my favorite dahlias. I'll check back again next week sometime.
