It poured heavily early this afternoon so no planting completed. Instead I did a walk through of the yard and I seriously need to weed. I found a new to me weed that is all over - bedstraw. Grrrr. Add that now with stinging nettle, thistles, creeping jenny and a heavy population of wood violets I may have to forego planting and take care of the weed zoo. I will see if getting up early will be the key to it tomorrow. Even if I can get a chunk done that would be a help.

What weed inundates you're gardens/beds? It would just be nice if they'd stay away but they don't.

Tomorrow we'll hit the greenhouse and I read on their site - they say they have the odd perennials. I hope so, the one we stopped at the other day had the common ones. Coneflowers, blanket flowers, rudbeckia. Does that mean people aren't adventurous to try something not common?

Jeanne: sounds like you made hay getting your deco reset and area filled in before the drops flew. At one point I looked out and it looked like a sheet of rain. Tomorrow it sounds like it will be somewhat dry and warm here and then more rain on Monday.

I've got to stop and think how to proceed and I must start getting stuff done. I wish I had the energy my youngest has, I'd have everything done lickety split. I don't know why I'm dragging so much of late. Sighing!
Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream."
