Mid 50s, overcast. It threatened rain all day, but we got maybe 10 drops. No rain in the forecast for the rest of the week. Figures.
I overseeded the raked out topsoil today. Saturday, following the critter that we scared out from the trees, I noticed that the trout lilies are up. No flowers yet, but I love to see them. I wish we had trilliums, maybe I'll try to find some, though I understand they are notoriously difficult to transplant.
The rhubarb is up, about 3 inches. Should be ready to pick just in time to miss the strawberries. ;o) The new hostas are all coming up fabulously, and some signs of life from the astilbe as well. I see shoots from the old plants in the front bed, but nothing yet from the old hostas.
The dandelions have taken over the foundation border. Simon would like to have pumpkins again this year. Maybe some melons too. Last year's watermelons were a resounding failure. They grew, but they were awful. Maybe cucumbers instead. How can you mess up cucumbers?
