Thanks for the reminder about planting cool season crops. I'll need to see if it is dry enough to do so yet.<br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792341123595520130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-80843702989581945552014-03-23T19:58:53.883-05:002014-03-23T19:58:53.883-05:00Good to see things coming up in your garden Sue.

Our garden is behind this year, because of the rough winter. I'm just now starting to see new green leaves on my tropical milkweed, and I saw in my blog that it started putting up new growth in February last year. I hope I have some ready in time for the arrival of the Monarch butterflies.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09993407315693699146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-52634949967786168632014-03-22T19:58:01.971-05:002014-03-22T19:58:01.971-05:00I don't have any yellow crocus, but maybe I sh...I don't have any yellow crocus, but maybe I should because yours are so bright and cheery! Exactly what is a "para"? I've got my winter cleanup about half done, and we hope to get to it next weekend when it warms back up. Next few days are supposed to be cold again. Boo!

Wish mine would catch up soon. We still have snow and frozen ground outside. It's been a late spring here as well. Those crocuses look so cheery, and I just love that giant seedpod in your header!spurgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576503805188297240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-57394862351889610812014-03-18T08:58:05.909-05:002014-03-18T08:58:05.909-05:00It always amazes me that you are farther along tha...It always amazes me that you are farther along than we are, Sue--I keep thinking that we should have similar weather conditions. I'm always thrilled if I get anything planted in the vegetable garden before the end of April:) It certainly does look like spring is coming to your garden. We've had such up and down weather; I managed to cut back my grasses on one nice day, but I have so much clean-up to do. It's no wonder my crocuses aren't showing up--they're covered by a thick layer of leaves. Thanks for the tip on the milkweed--I planted some seeds this fall and winter, so I won't give up on them too soon.

I finally got my leaves cleaned off of my beds, well right before all this wind we had. LOL! I may have to clean a few more over again now but the plants can make it through now.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-70001806145108383952014-03-16T16:17:08.184-05:002014-03-16T16:17:08.184-05:00Glad I'm not the only one who forgets what the...Glad I'm not the only one who forgets what they plant.

Spring is my favorite time of the year. Right now, of course, is pure torture for me as the weather temperatures are in the 60s and encourages me to be outside but the still cold and some places frozen ground prevents me from scratching in the dirt. <br /><br />We woke up this morning to a nice white blanket of snow on the ground, temperature of 23, and a tree pollen alert. Welcome to Spring in Nebraska. I expect the snow won't last long as the prediction is 43 degrees high today and 63 for tomorrow.<br /><br />My cabbages and onions hogged up some sunshine outside yesterday on their way to hardening off. I will put them outside again tomorrow and hopefully by week's end they will be in the garden on their way to maturity. I just thought I'd give growing onions from seed a try this year.<br /><br />It's a good thing I don't have to live or make a living at gardening. My joy comes mostly from growing the garden and some of the harvest goes in my Winter food storage room but most is given away to neighbors and friends.<br /><br />Have a great almost Spring day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-36316125807207185372014-03-16T06:17:55.477-05:002014-03-16T06:17:55.477-05:00It is always amazing to see your 'brown' g...It is always amazing to see your 'brown' gardens turning into colorful beauty.

It was on the back sheltered porch, but it was still very cold out there. Your garden looks tidy and ready for new spring growth! Thanks for this encouraging tour!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.com
