Its been very nice weather lately but today is windy an cold. DH had to work an called to say it was snowing an with the wind it wasn't sticking. I had planned to work in the yards but Ma Nature changed that, so it looks like I'll be cleaning the house, laundry an if my energy holds out I may wash the walls which I try to do every year or two.

My seedlings are doing well, more popping thru almost daily. I have bumped up the arugula, some tomatoes, flat dutch cabbage, marigolds, love in a puff. I direct sowed 2 packs of Nasturiums an red Sweet Peas the evening before we got so much rain. My seedlings had perked back up by the next day.

I also bought another 5 lbs of seed potatoes. I try every year now for the last 3 years with poor results. Not sure what I'm not doing right, but come harvest time the potatoes will be smaller than the seed I planted. I'm changing up where I've been planting them to see if that will make any difference.

While at DD's school yesterday I got some cuttings of a White Camillia an a Red Camillia, don't know the names but I don't care they were pretty. Got them home an stuck them, hopefully they will root for me.

On a side note, & maybe you already know, it won't take very long for the nasturiums to come up. Though sounds like you have nice weather- usually-you could probably get them out doors soon. I planted some forgetting how fast they come up and I just hope they'll survive till I can get them outdoors.

I can relate to change of plans due to Ma Nature doing a clean-up. Sounds like you're all set for summer.

Hi Trudy, glad that all your plants are coming through. With the seed potatoes, I think you do have to rotate the ground every year and if you ever get potato blight, none can be sown there for 3 years.

Thanks yawl for the comment. Sharon even the first planting of the tators never did much of anything. This will be my 3rd year (I think) an going to put them in a totally different bed. I keep saying I'm not going to fool with potatoes an wind up doing it anyway. Hoping I will get it right eventually.

Sounds like your garden is coming right along! I'm sorry to hear about your tater troubles, maybe third time's a charm? Good luck with all your planting this year.
Lily
