The Week My Garden Was Made For

When we went out of town, all that was blooming was the forget-me-nots and the dandelions (aka tortoise food). We got back this past week, and the forget-me-nots were blooming like gang-busters, the columbine had gone from just low mounds if leaves to having loads of their colorful, long-stalked blossoms, the purple and the white lilacs were blooming and scenting the whole yard, and the strawberry plants are blooming too. The only thing that hadn't flourished while we were gone were the fruit and veggie seeds I had planted just before our last frost; I think it's safe to say at this point that the aren't coming up. Today seems like a good day to start more seeds to replace them, and I have more of almost everything.
