They like acidic soil, but I'm sure you know that!<br /><br />Andy, that's a wonderful line!

We are flooded here after torrential rains the last couple of weeks. But this past weekend really felt like it might be spring, and we worked in the garden too. Let's hope it is glorious when it finally blooms, as they say. I trust that you'll show us the fruits of your labors. I planted a pieris a couple of years ago that isn't doing so well, I think I might need to move it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-34502016478107000062013-04-22T23:17:30.426+01:002013-04-22T23:17:30.426+01:00Hi - great pictures of your gardening.

Spring has eluded us here as well, last night we had to bring in all of our newly planted plants and herbs because a frost was predicted and it happened! Wont get above 60 degrees all week and the nights will dip in to the 40's but at least it will stay above freezing. Phew..<br />Happy Spring sorta :-)<br />Love Gail<br />peace.....

Regardless of the weather, however, I find the prospect of new growth puts the spring (no pun intended) back into my step. I, too, have been spending quite a bit of time working in the yard, and, frankly, I find it very therapeutic (at least until the lower back starts aching).Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.com
