Today's Weather in Your Garden - 42

Suns out w/ blue sky

Gorgeous day and I have to clean the house! Family coming tomorrow to celebrate my little guy's 7th birthday (actually on Monday). Hope I can finish and get outside in the PM.

Make sure you put on your apron Victor

I wear a French maid thing.

Thats a nice outfit. But I said apron :-)

Uh-huh.
With a little hat?

:oD

Mais, bien sur! (But of course!)

My DH is a "Hoover" honey for me! Though he prefers another brand. So much so that he recently bought a new one of the same model and took the older one to our Vt house. I think they all pretty much suck. Not my favorite chore. Patti

I hate cleaning, but it must be done. Have to get started! Just finishing the second cup of coffee.

HAH!
You're not getting much done if you're here posting!
LOL!

party sunny, clouds look like they're coming in.

51 high of 65 expected

i have hoover duty as well (dyson). not a big deal still would rather not though

43 and overcast, just a cool damp day, but no wind or rain since last night.

I went out and took many pictures of the yard before the real blooming begins or the final clean up is done. I should have had that finished, but I have missed most of the month with my trip to Okla and this dang illness. But I did a pretty serious clean up in the fall so it isn't too bad.

It looks like we aren't going to clear off until Monday. I need some sun. Doing a little dance, but not with a hoover or dyson. How do you like that one Wha?

Here is collage of pictures that I took today of the area which will become the Japanese maple bed with 7 little holes so far. I will add more and lift all the grass as soon as my energy is back. I will leave a strip of grass between the two beds. Patti

looks like a very nice spot and on higher ground so you will not have to worry about wet roots which is a death sentence for jm's. your whole property looks great!!

Did you leave enough space for dwarf evergreens to plant next year? it looks like it!

Yes - looks good, Patti. I'll recommend some great dwarf conifer companions when you get them in!

sunny and 58 on the deck right now the bird and I are loving it and tomorrow suppose to hit in the 60s, I deserve this nice weather after all the cold that was suffered this winter

You are way warmer than me. But I do agree you deserve it. We only got to 43 today.

This is a cool idea. Patti

THIS SATURDAY 28 MARCH AT 8.30PM YOU CAN VOTE EARTH BY SWITCHING OFF YOUR LIGHTS FOR ONE HOUR - EARTH HOUR.

Great! More juice for me!

Started out with rain and 35 this morning, turned to partly cloudy and 45 not bad. Tomorrow we may get up to 55...I'm psyched!

Here I am in Ohio--weather clear. temp? irisMA post, J2's computer won't say my name, shucks!

Victor, I thought you made juice? Patti

I do, but it's dark at 8:30.

thought i heard peepers last night - they are definitely out now!!!

I think its foggy out there.

When did those arrows on the right side of this box show up?

I don't see arrows Sherrie.... 45 now going up to 60 ... showers today... rain tonight... the crocus are popping up everywhere in the front lawn

foggy here

I don't see arrows either, but it is foggy here too and getting more so by the minute. Patti

Here is a collage from yesterday's damp attempt. top row Iris reticulata 'Cantab' and I.r. 'Clairette' next row is Iris reticulata 'Purple Gem' and then Gold finch and then Iris reticulata histrioides 'Katharine Hodgkin' or perhaps 'Frank Elder". I will know when it opens up more, I hope. Patti

The arrows are in the box you type in at the right. I never saw them till this morning.

not on this end Sherrie... can you take a screen cap of it?

I had to take a picture. I think I got too close - good grief

oh that is strange... looks like a scroll bar... I never saw that before either... not much help ... sorry

I only see it when I hit my enter key enough to fill the typing box

I always have a scroll bar on the right side of my screen. Patti

it's showing up in her reply to thread box

Ok, I will check and see if mine is here. Patti

edited to say, not in Reply box on mine.

Sun just trying to come out through a high cloud ceiling.

Would like to get out & rake, but still tired after spending 8 hours babysitting yesterday---need to rebuild part of the front fence---I can't do it---DS said he will, but who knows when! Weak sunlight & around 50.

Bright sun and 55
Raking and playing in the back yard.

64 and sunny. Lovely in the sun; no jacket required. Cut back hydrangea; did some raking.

About an hour ago it cleared a tad and I went outside to find some critter damage from last night. Sick of them. I think it was rabbits.

43 now and tomorrow doesn't look so great for working out side. Rain in the morning. My bulbs need some sun! Me too. And I need to rake too. Maybe on Monday. Patti
