So much stuff happening here it's almost too hard to report it all...

First of all... We are in drought!!! That sucks... Whatever happened to "April Showers", anyway... We're having to move the oscillator all day from one bed to another but...

... we have lettuce, beets and spinich poking up...

Lots of azaleas in bloom (like hundreds)... My favorite, Komo Shekeboo bloomed today... But we are in the process of putting in some new beds and are going to start by moving as many "whites" into the beds as possible and then move the colors in... Whites should be 50% of any garden design according to Designer Bobert...

I went looking for "mergals" (morelles one last time for this season and found just enough to put in an omlet... The underbrush has gotten too high to find 'um for this year... Oh well...

Back to the "Pink Lady Slipper"... I was trying to find where I found that other one and did... I got down on the ground and started looking around and there were about 15 others that were just coming up... I carefully dug up the three that were definately in the logging road and brought them home... The others I'll keep my eye on over the next few weeks... The P-Vine looked them up in one of her books and it says that they are extremely rare so I guess we oughtta be happy to have these four... We'll plant them in our woods in an eara that best resemebles where I found them... I think they'll do just fine...

We also found a dicidious magnolia with bright yellow blooms at a local nursery... The P-Vine spoted it from the road and told me to "turn around"... The nursery got two of them in and he had just sold the other one that morning so the P-Vine used some of the money she keeps in her garden slush fund to buy it... Hooray...

The gardens are reallu shaping up and we hope that anyone here who is a gardener who is in the area will stop and take them all in...

(Janie???)

Well, that's bout it, for now...
