Yes, a little chilly in the Hill Country but should warm up to low 60s and low 70s on the weekend.

What variety of blackberries do you have and how far apart are they planted? I miss mine that were torn out during construction. I’ve bought several varieties two different years from TSC but they all died immediately. A neighor had the same bad luck. Home Depot or Lowes has never sold any. But I still WANT blackberries, whaaa!

The outside water is off for the winter so I potted up some seeds indoors this week - brussels sprouts, bunching onions, cabbage, cilantro, parsley and a couple broccoli and cauliflower with the leftover wet potting mix. Yes, I know brussels sprouts are for fall but maybe they’ll produce a bit before the summer heat. I finally got a cabinet moved over to the windows to use as a plant shelf. It’s nose level but will have to do. I also put all the loose and scattered gardening notes into a binder so there’s no excuses.

The freeze did kill off the leaves to the amaryllis but maybe they’ll come back. It looks like a few daffodils are peeking up.

The same happened to my amaryllis, I’m getting ready to cut off the leaves and see if they’ll come back.
