Gotcha, Faye, and can hardly wait to see you at the Round-Up!

The few Pampas Grass plants we have I cut down last month, just in time since new growth was starting to shoot up at their bases. But then again, we're a tad bit ahead of some of you. Same thing here, Susie, we have a burn band from April to October unless it's after 4 PM.

It was absolutely glorious here today and reached 86 degrees. Clear skies, just a little breezy, and I broke a sweat. First thing this morning, the crop of wild garlic growing in my long bed was calling my name and spent the next two hours digging them out. Pretty easy after our rains, but ended up with a shiner blister, stupid gloves. Then I planted perennials a nursery let me have for 1/2 price Saturday for my B-day. They have never done that and I was tickled! But they know I'll be back for loads of mulch and will back up the bucks. One new plant is Rudbeckia "Black-Eyed Susan". Can you believe I didn't already have one...lol And another was Coreopsis "Jethro Tull", had to have it just because of the name. It felt SO good to be outside digging and planting. Spring has definitely sprung but bet we get zapped with a surprise frost between now and May 15th.

Photo attached is IRIS "Irish Chant" Maxine gave me, and is blooming today.....
