Can't believe it!!  An entire sunny day is forecast and I don't work today!!  I'm finally going to get some annuals in the ground and in my patio pots and also buy some hanging baskets.  It has rained sooooo much that weeds are rampant and planting just didn't get done.  So today is the day!


I also NEED to completely hose down the screened porch and clean porch furniture, but that will have to wait a bit.  I really want to get that area re-screened.  There are some tiny holes in the fiberglass screen and little tiny bugs seem to be able to find little tiny holes.  Grrrr!    Also time to replace the ceiling fan out there.  I believe that will wait as well, but hope to get it done this summer.


Off to buy my impatiens, geraniums, begonias......yeah!!

Hugs,


Sooze

It sounds like a perfect day, Sooze! Enjoy!


It's still a bit early to plant, here. I've got my pots and soil ready to go, but the last couple of nights, there have been frosts. It's not recommended to put in

It's warm enough, after five cold days, for Michael to get out in the garden and plant the potatoes. I bought a 5 lb. bag of organic russet potatoes and let them sprout so now he does his part. Our spinach, chard, kale and lettuce are doing beautifully - had our lettuce last night and will have some red chard tonight. He still has the tomato plants to plant, as well as the beets, but the zucchini is in and all the herbs are looking great. He also has a packet of heirloom bush beans to put in. The impatiens and cinneraria on the front porch look so beautiful. I feel so blessed to have a husband with a very green thumb.

I know just how you feel Suz. finally nice days here too. Two in a row. Maybe be a small shower tonite but staying warm overnight. Feels great.


Hey I know what you mean about those little bugs so here's a tip. Last year (my back porch is also screened off) I bought a couple rolls of really cheap plastic wrapped up my porch and fogged it. Of course I took all the furniture and stuff off it but what a difference. I got the cheap foggers from the dollar store for a long time the
