Things are greening up. Dandelions are in the green stage where the leaves are rather tender and not too bitter to be used for greens.
The almond trees are now in bloom, and looking pretty. Our tulips, daffodils and hyacinths are blooming and looking nice.
I still need to figure out what to plant between the spring flowers so the beds will be pretty in the summer too.
I always wanted to try dandelion but I was too chicken.
How do you fix yours?
Marigolds are nice for summer. I always have to grow mine from seed though. Every single marigold plant I’ve bought from a store died right away. They’re either diseased or eaten almost overnight by the piranha slugs we have here.
We don’t have as many lately due to nearby raccoons, but there are still plenty enough.
I have a little plastic water dish I put out in the yard for the cat and every morning it’s tipped over.
I think the raccoon does it washing off his snails and slugs.
There must have been something good in the cinderblocks where I planted my marigolds because the little rascal dug clean through to the bottom.
I’ll have to top it off and plant more seeds.
It’s supposed to rain tomorrow. I’m planning to can some hamburger and maybe I’ll scrounge around for something to put my starts in. I waited too long and the roots went into the peat so I need something big. I’ll have to stop by Dollar Tree or something.
