I guess I'm going to have to enjoy your spring vicariously, as it was 1 degree this morning. So much for the entrance of March. Or Farch.

I do need to fertilize it though. it was full of organic material when I bought it but that's been several garden ago.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-52937704787009533592019-02-25T19:29:15.362-06:002019-02-25T19:29:15.362-06:00You do have spring and you are making me realize a...You do have spring and you are making me realize all the work I have ahead next month. May I suggest that eventually you replace or add potting soil to the plant that just got regular soil. You need a soil that is more loamy and more airy when put into a pot.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053208644196545549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-49724632290601183562019-02-25T17:26:54.722-06:002019-02-25T17:26:54.722-06:00"Ain't nobody leavin' til they sing t..."Ain't nobody leavin' til they sing the blues." My friend who just died heartily agreed. Even spring flowers sing the blues. Winter sings the blues before it leaves The quality of the daylight in your part of Texas is beautiful. Everything looks illuminated. Even on the foggy or cloudy days. Your level of energy for working in your yard and doing art work astounds me on a regular basis.<br /><br />amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-23656393135872431442019-02-25T16:00:50.872-06:002019-02-25T16:00:50.872-06:00It's bee the most beautiful day here today and...It's bee the most beautiful day here today and I should have spent it outside in the dirt but did not. I've had things to do that I thought I "had" to do which is always sort of bullshit. Not like anyone was waiting for me to come perform emergency surgery, right? <br />Maybe tomorrow. <br />Your blooms are gorgeous. Mine are almost popping at the same rate. I'm so glad that package got to you.
