Seedlings appeared yesterday, one week after sowing!
\nPlanted nasturtium, aster and morning glory seeds this weekend. Found that soaking the morning glory seeds produced rootlets, even without time-consuming clipping beforehand.
\nJames and I are making progress on clearing the overgrown forsythia in their back yard. The soil is so excellent, I suggested planting vegetables; James: “No more gardens!!”<\/p>
\nPulled out the grasses in the flower boxes, they must have been killed over the winter, and put in purple spoon daisies and marigolds.
\nPruned the deadwood from the rhodies, azaleas and the beach rose. Mowed the lawn yesterday for the first time.
\nRhodies are starting to blossom. Foliage on the Montauks. Deep purple tulips are beautiful at #11, the lungwort and bell flowers have spread.
\nThe hollies definitely seem to be in “off” season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
