We had some unseasonably warm weather this weekend and it did two sort of unpleasant things. First it made working in the yard suddenly more like work. Second it made for some sweating which in turn made the last dregs of the poison ivy rash WICKED FRIKKEN ITCHY. We still managed to to get quite a bit done.
My niece's two little beds got made. My mother brought a surprise for her, a shepherd's hook and her own bird feeder. Seems the kid fell in love with the bird feeders at the Maine house when she went for Easter weekend with Nana and Papa. She was very excited and promptly started to plant the bird seed when they came over this afternoon to pick up her puppy (we were dog sitting this weekend). She started some flowers last week and I have more for her as well as some Easter Egg Radishes to sow in a large pot tomorrow. I'm not sure what to put under the bird feeder but we'll come up with something.
One thing the warm and wet was good for was the hosta. They're coming in fast and looking great now that they have tidy mulched beds to live in. Even the transplants are doing great.
We also finished tilling and cultivating the large area for the big beds this weekend. Hopefully we'll have good weather next weekend to build them. After that the hard work is pretty much done. All I'll have left is to harden off the seedlings and get them into the ground over the next few weeks. Just a couple more days to enter for my spindle giveaway. All you have to do is leave a comment to my April 19th post.
