Spring is Here

April was amazing.  Many times warm as summer but without the misquitos. I seeded my "salad bar" on the north side of the house by the apple trees actually Randall and Christy did.  By May 1st the lettuce has come up.  The perennial garden is stating to look green and fresh with this and that coming out  and strutting their first leaves and some several inches high. Like the leopards bane, gloe flower the monkshood some delphinums daylilies veronica, phlox  baby tears  yarrow tulips and daffodils and crocuses.  Every thing is so much earlier.  Even the roses are sending out t heir new shoots.  The himalayan impatiens are poppy up every where.  Have to definately weed those out. Some lilies are coming up already. All in April.  Wow..  The greenhouse is doing amazing but now we need the customers.  Tho Randall says I have sold around 700$ already.  Thanks friends.
Roger has rotivated our garden so its ready to be planted.  Then we got into a season of rain and much cooler temperatures.  Like an 1inch of rain.  Well the sun will shine again.  And customers will come again.  Be patient and trust.
Sold alot of trees again to Hecla and Garry and Olga's son. As well as Nikki.  We also bought more cherry trees and a cranberry bush and rose bushes that I made a second row on the other side of the stone path on the south side of the house. I think Ill like that.
Tho I really dont know what I want to plant where but I sometimes plan already.  We are  using the littlegreenhouse again tho we had not planned to at first.  We just need more space.  Or I have to order less.  The baskets that Bonnie made are starting to look really good. Filling out nicely.   We did our first spray for aphids May1 in the evening.  Have found a few already.  Lord I sure hope the Tristar will work.
