Good morning. 46-64F. Yesterday’s rain was a welcome sight, will hopefully till the CG tomorrow. I’m the last one to prep the garden in the CG, but hopefully that means fewer weeds. I’m hoping to plant a few more swap plants - anyone ever grown horehound? It will start out in a much bigger pot...

Good morning. 37-52F cloudy and cold(er). The WX guy warned us not to plant for another 2 weeks. We just don’t heed his advice. My tomatoes are happy under the lights, but I see a few CG gardeners with theirs in the ground. The wisdom of WX crews. Have a wonderful day. Enjoy Mother Nature’s...

Good morning. A bit cooler than you all 33-55F for a few days. This winter and Spring have made a lot of people around here impatient to fill their gardens. Last nights cold struck the reality bug, so I’ll still be waiting to plant. Not much on today’s docket. Coffee group, a few groceries...

Good morning. 35-65F, WX says no rain. Potted up most of the late seedlings for next week’s swap. They are tiny but may do OK. The other trays got some outside shade and wind yesterday, just starting to acclimate. Good thing we have 2-3 weeks before planting them. Serious basement cleaning now...

Harry, our season is definitely behind yours, maybe due to elevation? Lilacs are just beginning to bloom. Most iris are beginning to bud with only a few in bloom so far. They usually show colors the last 2 weeks of May into June. I’m hoping with all the moisture we will have lots of colors this...

Good morning. May has arrived with Spring weather still here. Yesterday’s errands were successful buying the potting soil I’m used to using, at a much better price than the closer nurseries. Also stopped by another nursery and bought a few flowers to start filling the pots in a few weeks. I...

Good morning. Yesterday’s trip up the hill was the best day for our coffee friend. She won a little and the food was great. Now back to reality and pulling weeds. 😀 Nothing much planned today except a trip to a store for more potting soil. The store closer to us closed during the pandemic, so...
