It is 14 May, not 15 May, but the point is that, I just put the sheets I was using for frost protection of my tender plants in the wash. It has been a week since the last really cold day that might have given frost warnings at night. Tomorrow is the last "traditional day of possible frost" in this area. It has been a very cool and cloudy spring. The early flowering trees have had maximal opportunity for bloom time. Everything is late. The leucojum has been in bloom for almost a month. Every time I walk down the hill, I get a kick out of seeing their little white bells dangling in the breeze.
I think I will be getting the annuals/bedding plants in the ground in the next week. Just on time. With Terry's help, I might even get my own garden planted in reasonable time.
On the plate: prep for going to Beijing to work on Mandarin, and finishing my gardens and computer work for the season. The house is in disarray as we renegotiate the books in new locations and new wiring for the HD tv stuff in the main public areas. I wonder if I will be able to get this under control before I leave for Beijing?
As soon as I have time- pics of the plants and mantle that can come apart to change cables. Pretty cool. Can't wait to see the Moravian tile go up around the fireplace.
