More Daylight But Less Time

 

I have been very busy just tending to my own garden and getting the school garden ready for spring. There's so much to do like pulling out some of the plants that are just overgrown and making sure everything is nicely mulched. The weather keeps on changing. It is cool one day, then a little bit warmer, then hot, and it goes back to cool again. My sugar snap peas are really confused.

My David Austin roses are blooming in mass profusion but the blooms don't look as nice since they didn't really get enough rest this past winter. Some of the roses that I have are very old too and are still in pots. The roots have gone deep down into the ground and I cannot pull them out. The pot is literally stuck to the soil.

There is a lot of kale and cabbage but the slugs and snails seem to be having more fun than I am because they are just leaving a lot of holes behind.

This cabbage is shaped like a football. So weird! I thought the tarragon died but it is coming back from dormancy. I totally forgot about it. It was a good three dollar investment. I'll have that herb for the rest of my life. Not sure if I will need so much of it though.

For some reason when I scattered my frisée seeds, I didn't expect my whole half of the garden to become a big salad bowl. The slugs love hanging around the frisée. 

Overall, this week it is suppose to drizzle. We had that mega rain that came down like cats and dogs a few weeks ago. We sure need more rain. It's a mixed blessing. If our streets were not so dirty all the time, I am all for the rain but there is so much trash and stuff just mixed with all the water that flows into our storm drains! Our air us just as bad. We need to do our part and keep our trash picked up.
