My Mouse tail plants! gotta love em!!!! yay! I weeded out my day lily bed n found my daylilies! Onions are coming up greenhouse seedlings are all sprouting. Wendy around here we all go by Mothers day for planting out Think our last frost date is before that but we dont trust it Same date here,but planted early,we are having an early spring so risked it,so far so good,getting only down to 55F at night,in mid 70s on days.

Yup they do right down to the nothing!! One of them came back the other didn't but we put some seeds down and got a new one! Now you cannot even tell it happened. It happened a few years back.

Some sowed today &some already sowed sn sprouted Tomato Cherry's already sowed n sprouted Corn Golden cross Bantam hybrid Still have lots more to sow. My plan was to get the sprouted veg n flowers in beds and start more seeds but Mother Nature wants me to wait so the lil greenhouse is packed full. even the floor is covered with flats of veg. I can wait on planting out but not on starting more seeds. And the grass is cut and looking good! all the rain made it grow

Christy... When I weed my gardens, I don't think of it as weeding, but rather as harvesting compost ingredients. That way it is not a chore, but rather an experience to be cherished. I think about all the yummy good veggies I am building a good growing medium for. That way I don't mind getting all the dirt under my finger nails, and all the 'growing medium', soil, that seems to collect on my clothes, plus it gets me out of the house to get sunshine that turns into vitamin D. All in all, it is a good experience. I feel much better, seeing all the weeds removed from the gardens and deposited in the compost bins.

Looking good Christy. You could use them for compost if it gets at least 140 - 150 degrees, to kill the seeds. What a difference in the two pics you posted. ::dance _zps388e296f::
