Hopefully it comes sooner this year for you than usual. We are having *real* Spring right at the moment (central Indiana). The trees are beginning to leaf out. I am starting to see some of the early migratory birds, too. So the signs are there!

89 degrees now in NJ. How about we do a little averaging?

If I had a super power, I would be Average Woman. You have a drought, and you have floods - Average Woman restores balance.

Too hot to garden.

BBQ, ND, Ah that's hard! Guess return to your repurposed missle silo and wait for warmer weather!

Zone 6B KS/MO Border. Average last frost day here is tomorrow. (Mild winter!) Finished 3 days of 80 degrees!

Fall Garlic about 2 feet high. Overwintered potato onions up some time ago, have divided into 4 or 5 small onions.

First year for plum blossoms! Most on Victoria Plum, a few on the Prune d' Ente 707! (Exciting!)

I have not had much time lately.....Jiffy and 4x4" pots seedlings; Tomatos and Peppers, Seeded Potatoes (Clancey), leeks Basil, herbs, Marigolds. Broccoli and califlower and wakefield cabbage. (supposedly heat tolerant.)

Direct seeded in the garden: Lettuce here and there, Golden ball and Japanese Turnips, Boro and Lutz high top beet. Seedlings are up. Light fish emulsion and kelp fertilizers applied to hurry them along so they are big enough to avoid being eaten by the sow and pill bugs.

(This drive by over!)
