The parsley’s wonderful – it’s wild all through the garden with the oregano. Not sure how big the basil will get before the southern winter is here. Glad you had rain, not tornado!

I love it! So many fun things in the ground! I love your flowers… all our spring flowers are done now, and we’re waiting for the summer blooms to begin. It’s hot today but cooler this week, which is good for the plants as they get crispy pretty easily if it’s too hot too early…

I’m so glad the seeds are sprouting! That’s such a lovely, exciting moment. And heh, I love the story about the squirrel sabotage not being so efficient as all that, and now you have a monster pea crop on the way. Well, that’s a pretty good problem to have. And your flowers look gorgeous – particularly the tulips and the irises.

I am so glad you read and reviewed it! Love the review – particularly what you say about time, which was something I didn’t consider much when I was writing about it. But yes! Of course that’s what the clock’s about. Enlightenment strikes!

The only seeds I planted this year are sunflowers, which I did yesterday. My brother sent our Mom a gigantic basket of flowering plants for Mothers Day that includes several hydrangeas, anthurium, what I think is a kalanchoe, English ivy, what I think might be primrose (maybe?), and something that might be a type of mum. And some other fill in plants. I should send you a picture while they are still blooming and maybe you can identify them for me. I know I will need to re-plant them outdoors. I am equally confident I’ll plant them in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and kill them. Gosh I hope not. They are gorgeous. Since hydrangeas are shade plants, I expect all of the plants in the basket are shade-loving. I don’t want to blow this, so I’m feeling the pressure of successfully getting them re-planted. I love your garden pictures and look forward to following them as they grow up.
