I love Hollyhocks. I have a ton of them...they come up all over the place!

We got 6” of snow yesterday...after everything had melted and you could sort of smell spring in the air. *SIGH*

I’ll be starting tomatoes, peppers and herbs next month. I never have time to get stuff in before May 31st, so I always have to slow myself down. :)

My Rock Garden is going to be a salad garden this season. It heats up early (southern exposure & lots of heat-holding rocks) so I should be able to start a lot of lettuces and cool-season herbs (parsley, cilantro) right out there.

Can’t WAIT! Of course, that’s where a lot of snow was pushed, so that, too, may not be out from under a glacier until May, LOL!

Oh yes, the hollyhocks do like to spread their love around along with the pansies, cosmos, nicotiana, cleome, snapdragons...I could go on. Have to love the free plants though. LOL

We had the 6” of white stuff on Friday. The snow was almost gone and now this. Oh well, it IS February. I just feel extra impatient this year for some reason. I’m chalking it up to 0bama denial. :(

MOther Nature is mocking us, toying with our minds.
