Emne: Is it raining everywhere?

Just in time for Mother's day and planting season, those of us in the northeast are looking forward to over a week of rain.
I really dislike gardening in the rain...but, the plants actually love it. In fact, optimum conditions for planting anything is during cloudy weather. There is less shock to the plant when the skies are grey.

Emne: Today was decent after all

Foxy Lady:

You are right...today we had a surprise visit of the sun. I was able to plant up some things in my mother-in-law's garden in between showers. Lucky!
And she loved it. I pulled out 3 overgrown rose bushes and transplanted them for her to another area. Then I put in 3 trellises with clematis, along with blue salvia, rose pentas, tricolor sweet potatoe vine, pink shades gazania and white sweet alyssum. It's going to be very pretty for her all summer

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies!

Foxy Lady: yep, same here Ma'am - or it was the same here during the day (it's nighty-night now). we were supposed to have rain...well, in the afternoon, and it did cloud up and sprinkle just a teensy bit - misting, really - very briefly after dark. but i went shooting with a photography group today and it was sunny and beautiful the whole while!
