Well yesterday I wrote a blog but when I submitted it nothing showed up. So to recap that entry I will sum it up some cuz it was a little long.

I took a walk around my yard an noticed a few things budding an blooming. Blooming was daffodils, jon quills, daphne shrub, loripedulum, blueberry bushes, some crocus, Lenton Roses an a very few on 1 of the 2 Mayhaw trees. Noticing the buds trying to break on the Mayhaw trees I went ahead an sprayed a fungicide for Cedar Rust. That has been such a problem for me since I planted them over 10 yrs ago. I keep hoping I start my spraying in time. I have threatened to cut them down every year. For just a handful of berries for all the work I put into them is frustrating.

I checked on my seeds I had sown an some more have sprouted, wha whoooo. I sowed a few more mator seeds an repotted a Lemon Tree, A Palm tree an a few other things I can't remember.

Today:

After DH an DD left to go back to school I got busy outside. I planted 5 of the six Camillias I had rooted last year. I kept them in pots due to the bad drought we had last summer. Also planted a blueberry bush an American Snowbell tree I had bought last year an held off on planting due to drought. I am hoping they will have enough time to get established before our summer heat. I think they will be ok. I still have other things to plant but will have to wait til another serge of energy hits me.

I also cleaned up the chicken pens (5 total), hope they are happy now. They were'nt that bad, but needed done anyway. As much as I like to be as organic as I can be, I do use round up occasionally around the borders of my flower beds. So I got that done as well. It keeps DH away from my plants with the weed eater.
