Blahs instead of Blogs

I read that Marie Iannotti says that "May truly is a "frantic" month in the garden".

Well only frantic thing in my garden this May is snow and sleet. Still coming down today.Though my seeds started indoors way -back in March- are almost frantic enough to start clawing the window to get outside. Little do they know that they'd freeze to frosty stalks if they were able to do so.

So that's why I haven't been blogging lately...too busy with bluesy blahs over no gardening days yet and here it is mid-May + blah blah blahs about 'wish it'd get warm...now.'

Well, yeah, we did have a couple nice days doled out here & there this month but always accompanied by pesty predictions of "more snow expected overnight and tomorrow in the high country".

During one of those nice days, I did find all the steppables I could growing around the property and moved them around in front of the cabin between the flagstones placed there last year.

Figured since the sedums and ajuga I put there last year didn't survive the winter then I'd find something that already liked it here!

And, yeah, have to admit I just couldn't resist buying a few plants last week at a local nursery ---even though I knew chances were slight they'd get into the ground before June! So those are waiting in wheelbarrows in the basement...that I push outside when the snow stops so some sun showers down on the delphiniums, purple coral bells, a few trailing vines,and the columbines I'm optimistically thinking can be planted...soon? when?

Not to much to report from the mountains as far as gardening goes. Over & Out.
