As some of you know I just like plants, any kind. I move much slower now and have been trying to curtail my buying, doesn't seem to work, still too many plants, either ones I bought or grew. Spring has been so slow, I haven't planted many things out in the open. It is now at allmost 7:30 am still just at 40 degrees. Not quite frost at night. but the soil is so cold. The fellow who has worked for me for 20 years when he has the time and I have the money, has only worked 3 or 4 hours a week for most of April and so far in May. He is with his older children, doing apple tree graftting. So I have had to do all the gardening this spring.

Following are three photos of plants waiting to go out in the garden or in pots.
