I don't have any pictures tonight, but I wanted to rave about the garden. It's coming along swimingly. My azaleas are blooming like mad. I'm putting up the PPF (Proverbial Picket Fence) - got the posts primered, next step is to primer the fence, then paint both. It's taking longer than I hoped because the weather hasn't been cooperating. We had a bunch of cold, damp days last week that precluded any real painting, and this weekend is supposed to be cold and rainy again. But it'll get there, eventually.
And I can tell already that it's going to be awesome!!
I'm planning to head out to the garden center this weekend to pick up some actual new plants. I'm also excited about this, because I'm way ahead of schedule compared to how I used to do things - wait till about June to go look for plants. Starting earlier is going to (a) help me find a better selection, and (b) give them more time to get established this year, meaning they'll be doing much better by mid-summer.
I've also located the rain barrels I want, locally, so I hope to pick up two of those this weekend. I'm going to need (or at least, be able to make use of) more than that, but they're not cheap, so I have to do this part in stages.
I'm psyched!! Just wish the weather would be a little more cooperative ... it's like we're having spring a month late. But it's moving along, and that's the important part.
