...Still soggy in the garden but it doesn't seem to bother the herbs by much. It is warm today, the day before Easter Sunday. I know it won't be as warm tomorrow, but it sure is nice to feel mid-60's and even 70 degrees before day's end. With the warmer evening temps in the 50's I'm tempted to put my potted indoor plants outside. But I know I'll have to drag them back inside again as the temperatures do their spring rollercoaster ride. What to do, what to do....! Well, maybe I'll put the geraniums out for a while, anyway. And maybe I'll put the rosemaries out. They would love the rain water. Sorry lemon verbenas, not your turn yet. And the potted basils will have to stay in for a while longer. The tarragon would like it outside. That rain water will really make it take off. Okay, okay, so I'm putting some of the studio plants outside. I'll put up with dragging them back in if it turns colder than 50 degrees. Ah, spring! Ya gotta love it!
Winds of spring...
...Small tender blades of chive were poking their sturdy heads up in the pot I had left outside all winter. Reluctantly spring was about to see the first of my herbs come to life after such a strange winter. The bitter cold hadn't fazed them as they began to grow. It was time. I have even seen a dandelion hiding under the gray-green grass tufts that were beginning to green up. Le Petit Jardin was letting me know that it was time for spring attention. A friend had already helped me by drilling some drainage holes in a metal container that I have planned to use for spring planting. Hadn't it just snowed a few days ago? But the good news is that nothing stuck or stacked up. The ground had unfrozen, so snow was not going to make a difference. Today was warmer, in the 50's, but gray. I am still not quite ready to begin my gardening rituals. My thymes and lavender have not returned to life yet. I will have to rethink my gardening plans since my downstairs neighbor
