Would love to be able to get out in the yard to do some clean-up and cutting back. Gonna send son to the store tomorrow for potting soil and at least get some greens and green onions started in pots.

The italian parsley self-sowed prolificly and I think that bed is high enough that I can bend straight-legged to thin it out. The red russian kale planted last spring needs fertilized for a good crop before it starts to send up flower stalks. Such a pretty color!

But, what I really want to say is thanks, Bobert, for that white hellebore I got from you the first Getaway I met you. After three years here the hellebores have finally established themselves in their new homes, and that one in particular is stunningly lovely this year - loaded with gracefully nodding, large creamy white blooms. It has babies around it that I will be transplanting. I hope some of them turn out to be as lovely.
