Tuesday 22

Finally feels like summer!  It's so interesting how some plants are growing so quickly and others are barely showing.  Some of my flower beds look so full and coming along so nicely, while this one seems so sparse.  Just one of those nature things.  Hope to do more planting in this one over the week, though with all I have to do still at school, I doubt it.

Tuesday 21

Another wet Tuesday, about the 4th in a row, but after that's years drought, this is good.  Plus everything is growing and greening. Love this time of year.  It's like Christmas seeing what pops out of the ground.  Sometimes things grow that you never planted or planted and didn't make it or planted and you forgot you planted it.   I do have some blank spaces but I'll wait a bit yet.
I'm adding an additional view to the garden photo each week.

Tuesday 20

Whew!  It's been warm out!  Today we could hit 100! After that long drown out winter, this has been a shift!  80's!  That sun just recharges every atom in my body!  Now if the plants would just wake up and get up! : )  My lawn has seem to been the hardest hit form the winter, huge sections are still brown and dead looking especially in the front.  That is such a challenge because I tend to worry more about the back, because that's where I spend most of the time.
Bought lots of wonderful plants for the gardens at the Friend's School Plant Sale.  Can't wait to get them in the ground!  Really focused on getting perennials this year.

Brrrrr.  Mother Nature stop already!  This spring feels like winter part II.  Having to take the leaves I bagged and put them over some of the plant that are coming up.  They should be hardy, but would hate them to a possible frost tonight.  Last year really spoiled us.  By this time, all gardens were planted and everything things looked like it normally does in June.
