As before mentioned, this has been a strange spring. Right now, we've had several days of chilly, cloudy, sprinkly weather. Jim planted all the early seeds and potatoes, and most of them didn't come up. It didn't warm up like some years and we had no rain, so we blamed it on that. Jim planted again in early May, we had some warm days and some wet ones and things are coming up. The lettuce, though, not at all.
I planted these flowers in my flower garden with the intent to write down where I planted them. I didn't so I'm going to try to remember now. The Alyssum I planted next to the iris south of the house because it is supposed to like hot, dry weather. That spot doesn't get watered. I planted one next to the back of the waterfall into the pond, and one some place in the rock garden section, and the zinnas ... I can't remember. It's getting pretty weedy out there and Jim helped me one day getting the rock garden section cleaned up. Then it started raining again. We got 2". It's a big help for the new grass planted where the old septic tank was and the new one is.
