It has been a long time since we've had such a dry spring. And, such a cold one too. Everything is extremely late, but, now just into summer, we have our spring. With all this talk of global warming, we were beginning to think that we should be getting ready for a deep freeze.
The container gardens were released from indoor captivity to play again in the Garden, the seeds that had been planted have started to grow, and the first and second seedings of grass (I ran out of seed - too much winterkill) are starting to sprout.
With the rain, the lawn that survived the winter is growing like a weed, and fortunately not like a dandelion weed (although, there are still some around that I haven't managed to get out yet).
We have a new visitor to the garden this year - probably because the field behind us was newly plowed, after a few year of just growing a hay crop. The new visitor, as yet unseen, really enjoyed my peas shoots, and the single blooming hollyhocks - so I have a new pot stuffed with pea seeds - it will be interesting to see how well this works; at least it can't be any less successful than the recent garden episode!
