I have a ton of seedlings to plant out, and the weather has not been helpful. We've been here since Friday so I could catch up, and so far there's been 1 1/2 days of good gardening weather.

Yesterday we replaced the dead PG Hydrangea standard that broke in Sandy, so of course I spent the rest of the day weeding, planting and mulching the whole bed it was in. I had a bunch of Alchemilla, Digitalis Pam's Split and Digitalis Grandiflora seedlings, I'm curious to see how they do with the new tree. The old one was a dwarf, and it created a haven for volunteer Cranesbills and Lobelia Siphilitica, which are still there, at least so far. They got full morning sun, but some relief from the south and west. I hope that still works.

This afternoon it rained again. That didn't keep me from finishing re-arranging the section I was working on, but it did send me in early. I really hope it clears tomorrow afternoon and stays nice for a couple of days, as promised. All those months of nurturing babies, and now I can't get them into the ground- yikes!

At least the Azaleas are blooming, and the peonies are in bud...
