May Planting, Maybe Baby? No, There's More Snow!

OK. So the local, long-time gardeners here on the mountain really do know best!

And, of course, I knew that all along but wishful thinking that maybe I could plant the first part of May anyway...was just wishful thinking after all.

Still got my baby plants growing in trays & peat pots on my dining room table since porch is still way too cold for the darlings.

On May 1st & 2nd another snowfall hit us. Yes, lovely but bummed me out in that I'm more than ready for sunshine and calm, windless days. Today, snow is mostly melted but big wind blasts chill everything to the bones. Only a few deer straggled up today to greet me...too cold for anything except hunkering down. The majestic Ponderosas are doing the sway-dance thing to the big wind blasts. I know I should take a lesson from the pines and be more flexible instead of bummed over the weather!

Barbie! Thanks so much for your comment. And yes, I guess I must be like you in that I do play the name game with all parts of my property, no matter how small! In photo above is one of several places on property (un-named, no less!) for pausing for coffee, tea, or other adult libations.

But, no, I don't have a large property. Only 2 1/2 acres here and, yet so far, have my trails and spots named as listed in previous posts. That's part of the fun, huh?

Only plan to add one additional spot, "The Secret Garden" and that will not be this season but do have the location in mind & envision it to be glorious.

Well, make that two spots. Someday, I'll have the "R,R&R" location planted out & furnished out with hammocks,etc. on the somewhat level, sunny spot atop the mountain where there's a nice view of distant mountains. Will be perfect for relaxin', reading, and other recreation requiring solidtude!

Well, better make that three spots with "The Creek" and rustic bridge that exists only in my imagination for a while. Oh, yeah. Like most all gardeners, I'm way optimistic.

Next few days forecasted to remain chilly and windy but! next week is supposed to be warmer. Come on sunshine. Over & Out for now. Jayne O'Hara
