Yeah I feel ya! I have all my starts on tressel tables that I've been moving in and out of the garage

It's SOOOO time to get them in the ground. And for those of you who are at all interested, you should get your hands on an American BeautyBerry. They're native, pretty, edible and they act as a natural insect repellent! Seriously?!?!?!? Cool plant! I've got one that's around my chicken yard so the birds can eat the berries!

ooh...pretty....

I can probably make some cuttings for you. I've got a young one I got from a small nursery. I'll show it to you when you come over Wed.

They are beautiful. Sometimes they are called calicarpa.

Happy Mother's Day to everyone I just thought I would show you west - siders what we have for weather and my garden today. I know we are very lucky, its 67 very gentle breeze, The last several springs have been very cold and long so this year we went with raised beds and row cover has worked great so far

This is the memorial bed I made for my wonderful little sheltie girl that I lost last spring.
