A couple of night of frost remind us that it is still early in the season for planting anything except the hardiest of perennials, pansies, fragrant stocks, and primulas. I am behind in planting the Cook's Garden--should have the potatoes and peas in--maybe after Fairy Days this weekend. I'm still playing catch-up from events this late winter. We've been transplanting up a storm, and getting gardens tidied. David has been busy mowing anytime the ground is dry enough, but there's still plenty to do yet. I need to get field/garden plants dug and divided quickly--they are growing so fast! My lilacs just began blooming, and the early daffodils are gone. I'm hoping the late ones will still be here for Fairy Days. The Enchanted Forest has lots of bloom already, and I'm hoping they will still be in flower for the weekend. I must get a load of mulch on the path today or tomorrow! The job list just grows and grows! Get out and listen to the birds singing--it is quite a concert!
