Loving all the charts - so informative and attractive too. If I had a greenhouse, I’d run them off and post them so I would be seeing them frequently.
It’s 50° this morning and bright sunshine, although clouds are supposed to move in later today. Everything is growing like crazy, including the buttercups which are now blooming in the front pasture - looks like a ‘sea’ of yellow. They bloom for about 3 weeks and then they don’t come back after I mow.
I still cannot get in the garden to weed. I would be able to ‘get down’, but getting up is the issue! The creeping Charlie is back so I’m going to spray it next week when we should have some very warm days with highs in the upper 70s and we might even hit 80. I use vinegar, epsom salts and a dollop of detergent. I discovered last year that if I spray, wait two to three days, then spray again, that seems to do the trick. The creeping Charlie has nice broad leaves so the spray works fairly well on them and it doesn’t poison the ground so I can plant vegetables without worrying about toxic spray.
This morning I am icing my knee after my at-home-PT exercises and watching the Masters Golf tournament. Some years ago, I played a little golf with my brother and his wife one summer which was fun; however, I enjoy the Masters mainly because the golf course is so gorgeous! The rhododendron and azalea are blooming and of course the grass is beautiful, & the arched rock bridges over the creeks are really interesting and attractive.
Tomorrow, I am putting out my hummingbird feeders! The little guys usually arrive mid April so we should be seeing them soon :-)
I like to be able to get up and down to work at kneeling level. 25 years ago, my Dad, then close to 80, got me one of these:
You flip it over and it is a kneeler instead of a seat. Mine does not have a bag but it flows and has been very useful to keep my knees out of the mud and the handles make getting up and down a breeze.
