Are you getting yours? It seems like the trees leafed out overnight. Certainly has been plenty of rain to help them along.
All the gardeners I know have been tackling the back-breaking work of preparing for planting. Happily, my urban gardens require little in the way of hard labor this spring. That will come in August when I have to water every day. For now, I've been seeing what is popping back up from last year, and starting to fill in the gaps with purchases from the green market. The daffies in my window box are sadly no more, but some newly planted dahlias are settling in. On my back balcony, a very shady garden, ferns and hostas are back. One hosta was bursting out of the pot, so my mother and I split it in two and it seems much happier now.
