Chloe, I love gardening & yes, it's in full swing. We live in a zone 8b & many perennials are up & growing, the spring bulbs are blooming (or have already) bloomed like crazy. some cheery trees are finished blooming, others are still going strong. forsythia's been out for a while, kerrias starting & I even saw one lilac bush in full bloom but it's still a little early for most.
But we've had some seriously weird weather lately. After some warm 'shorts' weather, it got cold & wet. Then yesterday, I turned on the weather report before work & here it was snowing heavily in Vancouver (BC)! Gackk! We had hail a couple of times that day - no snow but the weather has been all over the place lately. We beat a 40 year record for cold &/or snow yesterday.
Weeds...? Of course, they always come fast. :)
They're the ultimate survivors. They're the reason it's better to plant a new lawn in fall than spring. Most weed seeds germinate in spring & grass has a better chance to make it then.Because I'm never sure how I'll feel, mood & pain wise, I don't like making plans to far in advance for anything. I was planning on seeing James Keelaghan, one of Canada's best folksingers. He was showing locally & I was going to see him with my son (tickets at the door) but I felt so absolutely crappy with pain & stress that night, that I didn't go. While I regret not going, I don't regret my decision. I really hurt that night.
I'm going to post something on supplements that Chris A had asked me about. I was reluctant to post on PB as it's so very long, but Judy1 was curious to see it & Dr. Bob said it was okay so I'm will post in PB. It is rather tedious & long. I'm not sure many would want to bother reading it.
