Look at you all go with 100+ tubers and I fret w my lowly little number!
Hah. I'm glad you are all potting or digging this weekend, I was able to get a bit done. I worked on my moms bed and planters as she's elderly and loves the blooms but can no longer get down to the ground easily. So I go and take care of that for her as she's in a zone 5 and her ground is looking much warmer than my own currently.
It's been raining since last night. I slept w a window open - hearing the rain fall off our eaves was nice. However I think it's cooler now then it was all night long and I had to turn the heat back on to push back the damp and cool of the house.
I look out at my partially completed clean out of my compost heap telling myself I probably should have tarped it off yesterday so it won't be a wet mess if the sun makes an appearance this week and I can finish the job and hope the rabbits took a trip and moved on out.
And my plant babies: I pinched back 2 of my dahlias, I always feel guilty doing that. Do I need to be pinching? Do any of you not do so and still have nice plants? I think I'll go grab the rain boots, umbrella and a coat and go check to see if those later arrivals have indeed sent up a sprout. In the meantime I had planted some seeds to start inside for the veg garden and some annuals to tuck in as I need spaces filled. My hostas finally look less battered since the mid 20s. Funny how nature likes to tease us with spring when most of us are more than ready to be an active part of it.
Hope you're all having a nice weekend!
I've added: do any of you get The English Garden magazine? I've checked a bunch out from the library - they came in the other day - can I state - total garden goals for myself! And I'd love an English greenhouse. I'll keep dreaming!
