    Most yards are filled with rock and a few plants. No such thing as a garden around here. I went back to Napa, CA last September and my eyes hurt from all the green and pretty flowers.

    Mine is done. Had to totally replant the back yard because we lost so much to the freezing temps here. My herbs are coming up nicely, everything I planted is living (so far) and now it's just a matter of weed control. Those of you further north, enjoy. It's so much fun to watch nature take its course (except for the weeds taking over and bunnies finding lunch.

    Planted my canaa lily bulbs into pots, while looking at all the snow in my backyard. The pots will be indoors until the end of may, until all danger of frost is over.

    I wasn't I was at a quilt retreat. Also it is kind of hard to do yard work when the ground is still frozen.
