Has anyone else caught a major case of Spring Fever? Today was a beautiful day and I only have one small pile of snow left to melt so I made a trip to Home Depot to just get some potting soil so I could get ready to plant some lettuce seeds. That was when the Spring fever hit!! I walked into the garden center and there were all those plants blooming. People were so excited about these wonderful signs of Spring. So, I got a little carried away and bought some perennials, lettuce plants, spinach plants and even two tomoato plants. Ok, so I am obvioulsy being way too optimistic about the weather. I came home and planted the perennials so I now have cheerful flowers to look at as I go in and out my door. Then I decided to check the weather report before actually putting the other plants into their containers on the deck. This week we will be having below normal temps and maybe even a mix of snow and rain. My plants are in containers, but the containers are just inside the sliding door. Unfortunately I may have to compete with the cats for my lettuce and spinach.
So, has anyone else gotten a little overly enthusiastic about Spring? Let me know. What says Spring for you? I’ll leave you with my newly planted flowers.
