Waiting For Blue Skies and Watching the Robins...


A strange cat has recently decided to live on our porch. It's very sweet, albeit I suspect it has mange. Oh and also, when it yowls at us (which is every time anyone steps outside), it has the kind of voice which sounds like it's been chain-smoking, drinking low-grade bourbon and singing cabaret in seedy bars for 40 years. Oh, if only I were being entirely facetious here.

Anyways, today's share for you all is the
Pasque Flower specimen I have growing in the newest garden bed (along with a Magnolia, Grape Hyacinth, Dwarf Tulips, Heather, Dusty Miller, Dahlia, Sweet Pea, red Asiatic Lily and Bachelor's Buttons). Right now, the bed looks spartan and thin, but come summer it will be a lot more abundant. I also plan on adding the Alyssium seedlings I've started up indoors and the Lobellia, maybe some Oriental Poppy.

We'll see how it turns out. In the meantime, I have a ton of starter seedlings in mini-greenhouses, need to till up the old harvest from last year and plant a ton of things after March 20th, the slated time slot for last frost of the season.
