Yes, I said Spring was here but... I know I saw snow mixed with the rain earlier this evening on my windows!
We had a great week of weeding in the garden and it all ended on Friday. And then ... the rains came... I was going to entitle my post April showers bring May flowers ... but then I saw snow! Once again .. snow in April .. so does snow in April bring great flowers in May? It has definitely been one whacky year for the weather conditions.
I drove by and talked with a few other gardeners today -- growers of daylilies, siberian iris, hostas and several other plant types. Learned a few interesting tidbits and maybe some ideas for making our garden grow even better. One of those tips I will share with you now .. they grow some of their daylilies amongst their pine trees and the daylilies love it!! I was surprized to hear that the daylilies love that sandy, acidic soil underneath the pines .. but I guess they do .. and the needles make a great mulch .. keeping the weeds and some bugs down. So if you have pine trees around but you don't want to move your daylilies you could still use the needles for a mulch. Anyway, I thought it was something interesting!
