Hip Hip Hooray
Sunset is past 5pm and sunrise is now before 730 am
We are 'supposed' to have SUN this weekend, and
temps out of the 40s. (we shall see)
But I am SO ready to get out there and prune roses
and rake up crud, and just BE in the garden.
And I will experience it to the fullest for all of you out
there in the frozen lands, cross my heart.......
I have Walla Walla onions, lettuce and spinach in
large containers just waiting to grow a little.

What babbling buffoon wrote this bilgewater???
Oh. I did.
Well here is the rest of the story
Today was gray again, but when the temp went soaring
up to 53 I thought I'd go on over to Target and see if the
Christmas/Holiday trees were gone, and they were.
NEW plants were all lined up in order on the shelves!!!!
So of course sticky pot disease infected me, and I got a
new plant. They say that gardeners grow through three
stages: attracted to annuals, potty for perennials, and
foolish for foliage. Well I am into stage 3 and
got BAUMEA a nice foliage plant for my boggy area,
about which I know nothing, except it likes wet places.
Of course there is probably not room for it and I will
have to start a new Bog area........................
