Yeah, Janie... Hot as a three dollar pistol here, as well... I'm afraid that everything is gonna open and then get killed back with a late frost...

Tomorrow is a big day here fir us... My backhow guy is finally going to get all the stumps rounded up from our "pond field" and we can get that massive pile burning... It's so big that I'm going to make a donation to the volunteer fire department to come light it and babysit it until it seems under some level of control... Might have to wait for a little rain first...

Got some hard-to-find chicken manure yesterday to work into the asparagus bed... The poultry farmers only have to clean their houses out once a year now so litter is gettin' harder and harder to come by...

Meanwhile, Linten roses are blooming their little heads off... Some early azaleas are in bloom... The PJM I bough in Blowing Rock is beautiful and in full bloom...

Staked alot of stuff yesterday that got bent over from the snow...

OH yeah, big news... I have been looking at "utility vehicles" (UVs) for quite some time now and the Polaris came on sale in Harrisonburg with 3.9 financing so the P-Vine now has a new wheelbarrow with 4 wheels... Throw in a steering wheel and that makes 5... It was really time... It is close to 2/10's of a mile from the barn where we store all our planting material (pine fines, permitil, tools, etc.) to the new pond gardens and that's just too far for pushing a wheelbarrow up and down the hill... Of course, the Polaris came with a fat payment book but hey??? She's worth it...
