It’s the weekend!

It's the weekend! Number 291, Tête-à-Tête daffodils and Chionodoxa Bloom in the Sun

Temperatures will be less hot this weekend and I plan to get some planting done. I’m also looking forward to hearing the peepers at our local vernal pond!

With unusually high temperatures this week, spring flowers have popped! My daily walks are full of flowering bulbs, such as daffodils, hyacinth, and tulips. Magnolia trees and forsythia are starting to bloom. It is glorious!

This week, my yard work was interrupted by jury duty. Windy days have blown leaves into the yard after multiple cleanups, so there is some repeat work. Whereas two weeks ago I was feeling ahead of the garden game, I’m suddenly feeling a little behind. I felt even more behind when a clerk at the local hardware store asked me if I had my peas planted and tsk-tsked when I told him I did not. He said, “What is it they say? St. Patrick’s Day for the peas.” Whoops.

Working outside is such a welcome pastime. I turned over my compost this week and the sight of wriggling red worms made me happy.

Before I fall asleep at night, I’m visualizing my vegetable garden. It’s a nice way to end the day. With gardening on my mind, I’m sharing some gardening articles, as well as other items.
