NOTHING LIKE GARDENING

GARDEN MULCHED, TULIPS, PEONIES, POPPIES EMERGING, DAFFODILS AND FORSYTHIA BLOOMING

ROSES PRUNED AND MULCHED, MINI DAFFODILS BLOOMING

Saturday, 10:00 AM.  40 degrees F at the ferry dock and on the back porch.  Wind ENE, very blustery.  The sky is mostly clear, the humidity 85%.  The barometer is at 30.31" and holding steady.  The forecast is for a bit warmer and dry weather for the next week.  This is the longest stretch of high winds from the north and east that I can remember.

   I got some garden work done yesterday; perennials mulched with wood chips, roses pruned and mulched, but at a price.  I am stiff and sore.  Treadmill and cross trainer to no avail; nothing prepares one for garden work but gardening.

  At least I have started, and given three or four decent days the spring garden and yard work should be done.  Hope I make it.
