The tarp even matches!
We are so excited for the unveiling of the sundial in all its repaired glory! Hooray for Matt, our Eagle Scout volunteer! In the meantime, the tarp matches the grape hyacinths just perfectly.

Winter Sowing Part 2
So here's what we've got so far:
12 milk jugs planted in January that my in-laws plant-sat for me.
Out of those twelve, we've got sweet peas up, calendula, and a few mysteries....
Why mysteries? Well, did you know that a sharpie marker will not be permanent on some kinds of plastic? The ink wore off of all the milk jugs, and, once again, we're just guessing by the bits of seed coatings on top of the dirt!
Also, 10 milk jugs planted that have been at Dorothy's this spring.
Out of those, we already have calendula up. We'll see what else appears! Same sharpie problem, of course.
Winston, my husband, recommended a "lab marker" which can write permanently on these kinds of plastic. Better living through chemistry! We'll have to try this next year.

What a lot of catching up there is to do! It's ridiculous that the past post is of snow, but grad school creates a certain tunnel vision. Oh well, it's spring!!
There are so many pictures to post, from the wonderful crocus lawn at Easter to the splendid blooming pear trees right now. Little by little, we'll get them all up.
But most importantly, let's give three cheers and one cheer more for the wonderful Master Gardeners who have come to help during the past few weeks! What a difference it makes!
This picture isn't even from Dorothy's - it's from another garden I've been playing with in Beverly, MA. What a good deed Home Depot did when they put their bulbs on 75% off at Thanksgiving!
