Roses in Georgia, from commentor Raven.
I’m looking forward to thirty-eight heirloom tomato plants arriving from three different mail-order companies, anytime starting this Monday. If I tell you it took both me and the Spousal Unit over an hour to dig out, hook up, and field-test the various tangles of last year’s hoses and hose heads leading from the one working faucet on the north side of the house to the flower and vegetable boxes on the south side of the house, will that help you understand why I don’t start my own plants from seed?
Meanwhile, our lilacs are glorious this year, and the dianthus and heucheria plants I thought had died over the winter have finally popped up, reinforcing my conviction that (global warming or not) one should never dig up a ‘winter killed’ plant in New England before Memorial Day.
How are things in your gardens, this week?
