Spring Is Here
I already guessed that winter was over when I saw 'Soleil d'Or',
'February Gold', and 'Peeping Tom' narcissus blooming in my garden. Today, I confirmed it when I saw the first crocus. -- David E.

I've had crocus blooming for a few days now and the smaller narcissus are just getting opening up. The taller ones are always slower and, given that they broke ground in December before the cold weather hit and froze their tips, they may be a bit slower than usual this year. I figure that Spring is here when I can smell the first Hyacinths and that will be a while yet. |

I figure that Spring is here when I can smell the first Hyacinths and that will be a while yet. my little white crocus's came up weeks ago and now a few yellow ones. My hyacinths are up about and inch as are my daffy's. Slugs have already attacked my tulips. Gotta figure something out...worry about the neighbor dogs and cats though I do make sure they are not around when I but the bait down. Seems it's mostly curiosity that gets most cats and dogs eating, smelling the stuff. But if they see me, they're likely to come check out what I've been doing. It's another beautiful day hear in the Pacific NW. My 86 year old aunt's lawn is calling out my name. Donna in WA zone 8-9 |

Anyway, for slugs and snails, use iron phosphate (Sluggo is one brand, and Home Despot has a house brand). Iron, a nutrient which you and your soil need, and phosphate (It's the P in N-P-K). Safe for people and pets, unless you have gastropods for pets. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100119/...ting_activists http://www.democracynow.org/2010/1/19/headlines |

For that, I had to be on a business trip to Philadelphia. -- David E.

I figure that Spring is here when I can smell the first Hyacinths and that will be a while yet. Hyacinths (like tulips) won't repeat here; the winters are too mild. But my grape hyacinths (Muscari) are in full bloom, making a carpet of blue under my peach tree. That carpet is punctuated with red primroses. -- David E.

Gotta amount something out worry about the acquaintance dogs and bodies admitting I do accomplish abiding they are not around if I but the allurement down. Seems it's mostly concern that gets a lot of bodies and dogs eating, smelling the stuff.
