Plants

Today I planted begonias - sadly some did not survive. Ah well, lesson well learned. I also planted foxglove, lupine, columbine, hollyhock, gallardia, daisies, flax, poppy, and some I can't pronounce or spell. LOL Well see what kinds of seedlings I get. I need to buy a few more flats so I can start some coleus. We'll see what kinds of seedlings I get. They were off to a rough start. I prepared the flat with soil then promptly dropped the bugger all over the basement laundry room. Soooo, I swept it all up, rescued what I could, and filled it up again. Then I planted the seeds. Luckily I hadn't planted it before I dropped it. Sheesh.

It was 60 degrees today and absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed the day. I also got a little laundry done and my dishes washed. Then I washed goblets to prepare them for foiling and soldering. Now I have to start making up patters in my head. That has to be the hardest part of it all. The rest is just mechanical, methodical, grunt work.

Forgot to get the hubby to take the snow drop pics. I discovered the ones I spread about did survive and are now up. Soon they will spread. I have a lot of stuff to clean out of the garden in back and the flower beds. Lots of work ahead in the oncoming spring days. Supposed to snow this week so I probably won't get any of that done until later in the month.
