No need to tell them.

And congrats on your first BIG heart.

No buds here yet Tex. The leaves are just starting to grow a bit better and are still the light shade of green. Probably no buds for another month and a half.

Big Tex Nursery is having yet another sale, roses are $10 and citrus in 5-gallon pots are $19.99, so the family will be well-fed.

Time to graft, if you've got the scion wood nicely stored in the cooler.

You're too kind.

You gotta be cruel to be kind.

We need some sun and warmer temps here. I'm going to start the sunflowers inside pretty soon.

The tulips are blooming here. Rainfall is about 6 inches below average already. And the roses are budding.

How is your gardening? How are your plants doing?

Had a massive flood last August with Hurricane Irene. Our area broke the previous flood level in 1903 by over 1 foot. It has been estimated that no such flooding has happend in 500 years in my area. The garden and lawn is in shambles. Today I hired a crew to level out the lawn and planted grass seeds. The rose bushes in the front of the yard ware sturdy even though the bushes were under water for about 5 days. They are starting to bud. The tulips are not as good as last year.

Long time to wait.

Apparently going to need 3 more rose bushes. As for anymore citrus I will wait until I buy the next house this year and plant next year a couple.

Looks like I will be no longer an OTR truck driver. Going to be weird driving local and being home with the babe a lot.

You know how the roses like the sun and heat. And we ain't had much of that since the heat wave 2 weeks ago or so.

We have plenty here and too much rain.

Here is a single rose from a bush I planted last year. I expect about two more years for this one.

At least we're hitting 60 today, but windy. The wife's petunias are ready to transpant, they've been indoors under lights for the past month and have a few sets of leaves. I've never seen seeds that small before. You need a magnifying glass to see them! It wss 10 seeds for $4-some kind of spreading hybrid variety. At least when the warm weather comes I can tend to my crabgrass and weeds. I'm good at growing them.
