    Finally got a 70* day. Started in at 7:30 am. I finished the last 2 gardens, they are ready to plant. Planted herbs, hollyhocks and more sugarsnaps. Carrots, swiss chard, beets, radishes, lettuce and first planting of peas all up and looking good.

    You've made a lovely job of those two gardens Donna. Isn't it good to be outdoors when the weather improves?
    Is that a forsythia you have in flower in your 7th photograph? How I wish my one would bloom for me but there aren't even any buds on it yet. I have a magnolia too but, like my forsythia, there's no sign of anything happening at the moment.

    Good job Donna. Everything looks so neat. Quite the bean pole!Lucky you to get a 70 degree day. It is cold & windy here today. I'm usually planning to put some plants in cold frame by now. I need some space in my greenhouse.

    What a great amount of work you have done. Congrats.

    I have a Star Magnolia also. It is no where near blooming at the moment.I sure cant wait. It was my daughters favorite yard plant so we ran out and bought it as quickly as we could.

    We should be getting out in the yard this weekend.
