May Day Eve


We are getting much rain. Peas are leaping and I'm getting sick of asparagus. How much can a person eat without turning green? Salads are fabulous right now. Tomorrow I plant squash, cucumbers and melons in cups. As soon as they're up and growing they'll be planted out. I also need to plant zinnias and celosia for bouquets. My succulents - sedums and hens-and-chicks are selling well. This weekend we will be at the spring planting festival at Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in Mansfield, MO. Come and visit! We picked the very first ripe strawberry today.
