Thunderstorms coming

Category: Sowing Seeds | Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 12:09 pm

Well it's definately spring here in Winchester. Growing up in Houston I enjoy thunderstorms, there they are usually short but splendid. In Tennessee they are less frequent, usually just in the spring. They are more likely to cause harm here since the ground isn't all flat like Houston (other than the multiple bayous). But I woke up to my wind chimes singing like crazy and seeing the overcast even in the dusky dawn. Brought my seedlings inside and have to smile about the fact I was actually talking to them. Comforting them that I'd slip them inside so the wind & rain wouldn't hurt them.

Didn't take long for the natural gardener instinct to take hold...talking to your plants is sign #1. Cussing at the weeds is sign #2 :)

Haha Toni! I'll rebuke them sternly, of course right now I have some sort of purple plant covering most of my yard. I'm unsure if I want to let it just take over or not...but considering how much it covers, I won't have grass if I kill it all.

You probably have Henbit growing out there. It is a native plant, also known by some people as a weed but what do they know, personally I love it.

It will die off on it's own as the temperatures climb and return in the winter.

If you decide to get rid of it you will need to use a pre-emergent in the fall.

Toni you are a JEWEL! Thank you so much for your help. I not a huge fan of the pristine yard, mostly because it's so much flipping work. I'll just leave it as is.. It doesn't look like it grows very high and when my son mowed this last weekend it blended well with the patches of grass still left. Who knows next year come spring I'll have a field of purple... I like purple!
