Oh, this weather!  It is just colder this year that last year at the same time.  I started planting last week.  It started raining on Friday and rained all day long.  Getting back at it today!

Got a box from France on Friday with 18 new varieties!!  How exciting for me.  Some are by French hybridizers, also from Russia, Latvia, Austrailia, and Holland.  Will be planting those today.  I have 30 pots of dahlias that came from Svatopluk Masopust of the Czech Republic already planted in pots and growing.

It's May 16, 2011, and the rain poured down for the last 24 hours!!

The forecast is for sun Wed., Thurs. & Fri.  I'm hoping to start planting dahlias!  They are so ready to be planted.  There are about 200 pots of planted tubers in the greenhouse and hoop house -- they too are ready to be planted!
