Spring is Here

  First come the azaleas. No frost, pruning and feeding are paying off!

   Then come the roses.  The Butterfly Rose is the first to bloom, the others are loaded with buds and ready to burst. One of the reasons I go to Roses Unlimited each year is to buy the Mill's rose food, which is so hard to find. I was told about it decades ago on a rose tour in Atlanta, a rose grower's secret!

My beds are all planted, seedlings are sprouting. At the other end my lettuce is coming in thick. I think this is going to be a good year for my plants, I got a head start and had a plan!
