\nAs usual, I have loads left to plant, including tomato plants. May 15th is the last frost date for this area (Zone 5, Chicago suburbs), so I could have planted them today, but I held off for two days to let a storm system go through. It seems that all around us are getting rain, but we’ve just had a sprinkle or two.
\nI need to have Elegante Mother choose more pots to plant. As usual, she bought more plants than needed. Perhaps I can send a planted container to one of my sisters, when EM goes to visit at the end of the month.
\nI still need to find a Bridal Wreath shrub (spirea), annual purple fountain grass, Goldsturm rudbekia, Victoria Blue salvia, Bluebeard shrubs\/perennials, and more Russian sage. I haven’t planned what I want to add to the little garden across the driveway, yet. And, I’m waiting for Dear Husband to move the dingy so that I can plant the south raised box of the veggie bed.
\nYa know….I’m glad I live where the snow flies part of the year. I don’t think I could keep this up year round!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
