Good morning. 41-60F, a nice Spring day with no moisture. Slowly the seedlings will get potted up, slowly but surely. Community Garden meeting/dinner this weekend, with one new couple. Coffee group, errands, then back to those seedlings. Enjoy your day with family and friends. Take time for...

Good morning. Windy 40-60F weather. I spent much of yesterday outside enjoying Mother Nature and working with tomato seedlings. More of the same today after an AM meeting. It’s almost time to visit a nursery for annual flowers to fill the sad looking pots. Almost. Around here we’re getting ready...

Good morning and Happy Birthday, Sic 🎉🎂🎈 It looks like a Spring day with the snow gone and mud in the garden. Monday errands, coffee group, and I’m hoping to fill the cups for tomato transplant. The dirt’s outside so it’ll have to warm a bit - then I can get stuff done. Get that shed done...

Good morning. 31-58F, hoping for some sunshine. I finished making the soup and now the house smells like onions! Too cold to air out for a long time, but it’s worth a try. Looks like another inside day, at least the snow should melt soon. Ah, Spring and its erratic weather. Enjoy your day...

Good morning. 27-40F with 3” snow. Nope, you definitely don’t want this weather. It’s a good day to make 2 big pots of dump soup for the freezer and a few meals. Even the cat is bummed about staying inside for a few more days. Enjoy your weekend, keep your jackets handy, and an extra blanket on...

Good morning. Hopefully this frigid weather won’t last too long, 27F at our house last night. We had to scramble and remove hoses, just in case. Wonky weather for sure, which is why we’re 3-4 weeks later for planting than you guys. ‘They’ say plant after Mother’s Day - ha. We usually have snow...

Good morning. Frigid and rainy, another good day for staying inside. Banana bread got made, soup will start tomorrow. Maybe a few movies or a good book will help the day. Stay warm and toasty. Hug your plants and keep them happy. Enjoy today.

Good morning. 30-41F with light showers. Potted up most of the peppers yesterday while it was warmer. Not too many, just enough for family and a swap. Today’s a good day for more banana bread, that’s going to a dear friend. Maybe I’ll save a few mini loaves for hubby. Too cold and wet, so I’ll...

Good morning. The neighbor had a landscape crew re-doing his garden so yesterday we replanted what he dug up to save for flowers. Hopefully half of the plants will survive. Next month he will buy annuals to give more color to his yard, a fun time spent with a non-gardener. Enjoy your day. Give...

Good morning. Cooler, maybe snow in the mtns., rain here. WX has a lot of maybes. I’m hoping to mix soil for transplant later if the weather cooperates. We still have 4-6 weeks before plant out, waiting for snow in May. Downriver, I saw VA had some hail, hope that wasn’t you. Have a great day...

Good morning. It’s warm throughout most of the country for a few more days - just a taste of summer. Monday errands and a trip to the CG to see what needs to be done. I potted 2 roses for daughter yesterday, if they last a few years I’ll be happy. Not my favorite plant. Enjoy your day. Stay...

Good morning. Spring weather is here, time for raking the neighbor’s wood mulch from our tiny lawn. Thanks to the wind last week we have lots of extra stuff. Yesterday we shopped at Lowe’s for potting soil and wood mulch. We’ve been looking for a cement birdbath as our ceramic one is flaking the...

Good morning. Windy again, warm for the weekend. Spent much of yesterday watering the flowers and digging up plants for the swap next month. Also helped the non-gardener neighbor dig a ‘few’ of his wife’s perennials to future relocations as he has a guy coming to dig out the extensive crabgrass...

Good morning. It’s looking to be a beautiful day, no moisture so I need to water a bit. I’m trying to dig out a section of wild geraniums that have been ‘there’ for years and I must miss a few roots. They can definitely be invasive as are a few other weeds that find their way here. The...

Good morning. Spring weather for a few days then back in the 20s at night. Making mini loaves of banana bread this AM for daughter’s freezer. It’s much easier to enjoy from the freezer and then warmed up, or so they say. Doing a few transplants after the bread then working on basement. Typical...

Good morning. Spring and sunny, no rain. Coffee group, then errands. Yesterday we tried to put the CG fence where it’s supposed to be, but that will take more work. It’s ok for now. Lots of debris to pick up there from the wind. Sic, you’re living the retirement life. Today anyway. Good luck on...

Good morning. 31-59F and sunny. Eye doctor then going to the CG to work on the mutilated plastic orange fence. The wind did a number on it, but looks like we might use it for another year. City regulations say no permanent fencing where the garden is situated, so we comply. Meeting this...

Good morning. Sunny and springtime temps. Solar eclipse day, but we’re not really in the path. I have the glasses just in case. Lots of scheduled power outages yesterday because of the wind. We were lucky. Enjoy your day. Tink, heal that back and feel better soon. Stay healthy and pain free...

Good morning. The fierce winds shook the house during the night, and have calmed down a bit, but still wreak havoc with the trees and whatever isn’t battened down. The brown cloud pollution should be in Europe by now. Busy morning, quiet afternoon. I’m hoping to transplant SOMEthing this week...

Good morning. Cloudy and very windy. I finished cleaning the irises at the CG and filled a huge trash bag. The rhubarb there definitely needs to be shared as it is encroaching on the walkway. Nice to see Downriver has a new member of his family. Love the name! First time planting flowers in...
