every gardener's  favorite month...here in Montana it is my least favorite.

The paper said we have record snow in the mountains, thats cool , maybe we won't be burning up in June. The fires were terrible last summer. We didn't go camping once because of the fire danger.

In April  the nights are freezing and the days could be any temperture. The home and garden show was yesterday and it was snowing at times so hard you could not see the cars in the parking lot. I did not buy any plants! Today it's 50 in my back yard!!! I don't dare even start to clean out the beds and disturb the mulch, even though I can see green and the top branches of  my apple tree has started to open up.

Tomorrow I am going to the nursery and check out the rasberry plants,and I want to finish my barberry hedge. I did get the fertilizer on the grass, I am sure I looked a little crazy walking around in a circle speading fertilizer in a snow storm. But that really is a good time to do it. It really melts in fast.

My squirrel is loving his gourmet food LOL. Happy Planting... kerryh
