Danged if I know when they changed the bus route Margaret! First thing I
knew
about it was when the danged bus came by. I sure was glad I was
sitting down by that time. And you're right. The soil wasn't quite
warm enough.
I've been lurking on all the gardens lists, but have just been too busy to
do much posting. It's 11:00 PM when I'm catching up on mail tonight, but
I'm off work tomorrow, and the kids are off on spring break so I can sleep
until
at least 7 in the morning. I'll really be burning daylight by then.
I've got so much catching up to do in the garden that I may never get it all
done
this year. And the seasons will come whether I'm ready or not.
We're short staffed at work so I'm working 4 to 7 days a week some weeks
and sometimes 9 days in a row before I get a day off, and with 3 kids
playing
soccer and 1 of them doing cubscouts and baseball season coming,
I just don't have time to do it all.
So I lurk on the lists and enjoy the talk.
Thanks for asking.
