The weather this spring has been so overcast and cool, that my outdoor gardens haven’t begun to show much. But indoors, it has been one of my best years ever. My orchids have bloomed continuously since early winter. This is what’s blooming now.
To all of you who made it to the WEBS tent sale this weekend.. I was thinking about you. There have been an awful lot of fabulous fiber forays this spring and they are not over yet. Next weekend is Cummington. I”m going to miss it. It’ll be too far to go for one day. I’ll be traveling North this week to get the hostas split and transplanted for the season. We have thousands, literally. In a good year, I’d be planting the vegetable garden now too. This year, it may have to wait, everything will either rot or just get stunted anyway. Sometimes waiting a couple weeks is better, even with our super short growing season. At least the beds will be ready when it does warm up. Guess I’ll be looking for those 57 day veggie varieties.

It has been a very slow New England spring. My daffs lasted 3 weeks – unheard of, but everything else is late. I’m sorry I won’t see you at Cummington. Don’t the deer decimate the hosta? Or are there too many for them to do justice to the salad? I’m reduced to spraying them (the hosta!) with Deer Fence (which has worked for 1 1/5 seasons so far).

What beautiful orchids. Like you, it has been too darn wet and cold here for much planting.

My most prolific bloomer is the snowy white cyclamen you gave me. It blooms non stop in the brightest white flowers. So glad it’s happening somewhere in my life. su

First, a scroll through my blogroll …. Bay Colony Farm is thinking about getting fleeces at the local college. Hopefully the fleece will be nice without so much VM. I have had my share of fleece with lots of VM, and believe me, it’s no fun to …
