I was going to plant some other stuf for the bees yesterday , but it all
wants to wait til after the last frost . I did manage to get the rose bush
and tulips I got the wife for Christmas planted , hopefully early enough the
tulips will bloom this year .

i hope the tulips do ok, but i'd be uncertain with
this late of a planting. may take another year or two
to sort themselves out. if the rose bush wasn't dried
out or otherwise damaged it will probably do ok as long
as you don't get frosts from now on. those tender new
growths are easy to damage.


I think today I'll be setting up the shelf in the south window that I use
to start my veggies . Nothing like getting a jump start on ol' Ma Nature .
Got my plan made as to what goes where and how many of each , just gotta
implement it now . Much of this year's garden will be from seed saved from
previous years , and not a single seed from WM will be used - after last
year's debacle with the tomatoes , I no longer trust them to be what the
package says .

good luck!
