Garden Log 3/31/04

03.31.04 (5:15 pm) [edit]

The weather was cold and dreary and it rained on and off most of the day. Disappointingly icky weather for working outside. :( And it doesn't look like it's going to get better before the weekend.

Took the kids to Target and let them pick out Sunflower seeds while I picked up some lettuce. Every year I've let the girls plant a row of sunflowers in the back of the garden. They're pretty much fool proof. Last year, as I previously mentioned, not much of anything grew. Only a scraggly few sunflowers survived the onslaught of rain.

So far since we've live here we've had a severe drought followed by the 2nd rainiest year on record. I definitely prefer the drought!

Cute blog hun!

I love the colors... I wish I had a green thumb when it comes to gardens... I do well with inside plants, but all of my yard stuff dies in about 3 hours. Maybe its because I live in a state that has weather very similar to hell.

Oh I remember what hell was like. I used to live in Louisiana! That heat kills everything.

I kill any plant I bring into the house. As long as things stay outside they are safe. lol

Exactly! C and I have tried planting beds and trees and shrubs... But, It was a disaster. Ugh. What bothers me most about it is all that money down the tubes!
