Rainy Weekend

We had a nice dreary drippy weekend. Nice. My yard and garden needed that. We're still running a couple inches below where we should for the year, but this weekend helped to get us caught up.

The sad news is that there is a mass of cold air moving our way later in the week. We're supposed to see lows down to 35. Brrrr! I'll have to delay on putting the seedlings out. Although, the nasturtium might make it into the iris bed before then.

Since they were getting too tall for the seed tray, I transplanted three more nasturtium and two more sunflowers to little pots. Let them strengthen up before moving outside.

And two environmental articles, one on a modern day Johnny Appleseed, who grows trees for reforestation, and one on the battle over cleaner lawn mowers.
