Hope you are doing well, greeneyes!

The garden is coming together - I finally cleaned it out and mulched the entire garden. I think this will be the best year yet (going into my third year). The roses all have buds but I also found a terrible aphid infestation. I’ve been treating them with neem oil mixed with water and a couple of drops of dawn grease cutting dish wash. I would really like to see a spectacular display this year. The rest of my garden is looking pretty hale and hearty. I wish I could figure out how to post pictures but it seems like that is beyond me.

I have one little tomato plant (Early Girl) and it has blossoms. This weekend is expected to be cold (30 degrees) so I’ll be covering my annuals and the tomato.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Doing well. Thanks. More energy, but not getting enough sleep. Wake up after about 3 or 4 hours and am wide awake.

My roses got something last year, and never got over it, so I’m probably going to need to rip them out and plant something different this year.
