Rain finally
Apr 3, 2008 | 12:34 PM PST
Well, we actually got a little rain last night. My transplants needed it! The weather is so crazy at this time of year. Yesterday it was 81 degrees...today 59. I just don't care much for being out when it is damp and chilly. But let it get a little warm and a little sunshine and you have to drag me into the house! I was given a new camera and as soon as I can figure it out, I will send pictures of my "projects". I'm rooting some camellias now. I really hope these cuttings take as they came off my mom's bush. I rooted a cutting off of her rose bush that is doing great. This has been such a fun spring so far. I have a bluebird family in my birdhouse, bees buzzing around already, blooms on my blueberry bushes and cherry blossoms on a yoshino cherry tree that I did not realize was on the property. With this being our 1st spring here, I'm almost afraid to pull any weeds for fear of pulling up a perennial. What fun to discover hyacinths coming up all aound 2 of our trees! I feel like I'm having babies every time I go out into the yard. My vegetable garden seeds are sitting here waiting to be planted. I have all next week off from work....can't wait to get out in the dirt!! Happy gardening to all!!

I never pull a weed until it identifies itself. Some times I let them flower and then pull them before they seed. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

This home was bought in June I think. And we got to see it in late spring. I realized then that I would not be doing any heavy rearranging in the yard until after the first year. What a wonderful time I had finding all the things the previous owners had left for me. Enjoy your spring and summer. LB |

You have the best spring I have heard of this year. So lucky you are to have all those wonderful plants popping up to say SUPRISE! That would be just like Christmas in the Spring for me! I have been having weather just like you for a few weeks now. Good luck with your gardening. |
