The grass has riz…..I wonder where…… Hmmm that’s a blast from the past….and true to form, I can’t remember the last line. I wonder if it was a Burma Shave sign?
\nI have FINALLY gotten to play in the dirt. I can’t tell you how theraputic that is to a gardener who has been cooped up all winter. I needed to cut back the spent plants and look for the newcomers. I want to take an entire roll of pictures of the garden as it is now, because I want to do a lot of moving this summer. I have several areas that need rejuvenation, and I’m eager to get to work.
\nHere in the Chicago area, we seem to be lagging behind in temperatures for this time of year. I’m surprised that so many plants are showing their heads, given the chill, and I may need to go spread mulch to make up for the plant matter I just removed. The bricks hold heat and release it at night, but we’ve been short on heat, so I don’t think that’s much help. The walkway is shielded from southwest, west, northwest, north and northeast winds, so that shelter might be part of the reason I’m seeing plants come up.
\nI’ve also tried Winter Sowing this year, for the first time, and I have ROMAINE seedlings up! YEAH!!!! I’m going to try to start a few cherry and miniature pear tomato plants this year. Wish me luck!
\nI’m really glad that Spring has come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
