I looked good once upon a time but it's hard to imagine now! LOL! <br />It has been a cold wet Spring here too and I can't sem to get out and plant even though our frosts are over with. <br />My plants are strining against the front window....wanting to break free into the outdoors. I don't blame them! I know how you feel about your trees. I have a sassafras that I love and it is old and it is just barely leafing out. I'm afraid this will be it's last Spring.<br />Your pear is beautiful. Let the planting begin!<br />Happy Mother's Day!www.self-sufficientsam.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065860466566055543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-31860267174415580682021-05-09T10:55:59.297-04:002021-05-09T10:55:59.297-04:00we've been having unexpected cool mornings but...we've been having unexpected cool mornings but they are most welcome! this last little front that only lasted two days may have been the last though. mosquitoes are out in force now after the big rain last week. big black ones. so spring has moved north.

I have a table full of seedlings that I cart in and cart out. We had hail yesterday. Big hail. Lots of wind. Cold wind. I sit here with my seedlings and my seeds and my onions and potatoes, and I feel...grumpy.

The few radish and lettuce seeds I planted, sprouted, but now are more or less just sitting there, tiny little sprigs. I am also a bit worried about the blooming trees. None of our apple trees are blooming yet, thank goodness, but dandelions are all over and no sign of any insect life in them. It is too cold yet. <br />But, on the odd sunny day we've had, it has warmed up enough that black flies were out.

I felt the same in late February when we had an uncommonly warm streak of sunny days, and I put a few seeds in some dirt -- and then of course the cold returned because FEBRUARY! But I brought everything in and it's all still growing, though it's been slow. I think we're finally getting some warmish days here.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-73749607372211114942021-05-08T10:24:20.285-04:002021-05-08T10:24:20.285-04:00What Leigh said most definitely!

So far. I woke up a short time ago with thoughts going through my head of what would be "safe" to plant out in all that bare ground. Too early for onions? Should I put a cold frame over one of the raised beds and plop in some lettuce seeds? I was even thinking about putting some nasturtium seeds in a hanging basket (how's that for being birds of a feather?) and bringing it in at night. Ah yes, spring in the north.

I think it's very good advice even though I confess I don't do it! The warmth of spring seems to be dragging its feet getting here, so I think we're all anxious to get on with it.
