Arghhh. No blooms yet here, of course. However, the forsythia are starting to set buds, so I better get pruning, and starting my spraying program, and weeding - being careful not to mistake any of my perennials for weeds. At least it is rain and not ice. During the hottest days of summer, I will be glad that I don't live in the south - but I envy your early spring blooms.
I hurt my back and shoulder. The combination of pain and pain meds has been slowing me down considerably.
Winston the pug likes being outside in spring weather. I had to bundle him in a sweater and practically drag him outside during the coldest days of winter. I was wondering if I would be gardening sans companion this year. He doesn't hunt rodents like my late Westie, Tiffany, but he likes being outside in nice weather. As I was trying to rake the hosta bed, he made sure to mark the areas I was clearing. I wonder if dog piddles deter slugs.
