April 28, 2007

Overcast, threatening rain. Forecast high of mid 50s. There are signs of life from everything in the corner bed - Jacob's ladder, Lady's Mantle - it's all there. That mystery shrub is very likely the Spirea. It isn't where it used to be, and the shoots are coming up looking familiar.

Buds in the Seven Sisters rose, new shoots from the base of the Clematis. No sign yet of Lily of the Vally. I'm cursed.

5:30 pm - it's drizzling. Raked out the dirt pile, needs to be overseeded. Filled the depression up by the road (though it will need more), and the tire indents along the driveway and lane.

First sowing: Buttercrunch (head) lettuce, Salad Bowl (leaf) lettuce, Bloomsdale spinach, Danvers 126 carrots.

Weeded the strawberries.
