Today I worked in the narrow flower bed in front of my Yellow Rose Cottage. The yellow 4-o'clocks are coming up. It was like seeing an old friend. Eleven years ago, before I moved to Paris, I had yellow 4-o'clocks and I gave seeds to my sister, and she planted them at her farm thirty minutes outside of Paris. The seeds I planted when I first moved to Paris did not sprout so several years ago Betty gave me some of her seeds. So, the yellow 4-o'clocks have come back to me and I am looking forward to their blooms in the evenings and early mornings.

Gardening happiness to all. I finally got in my garden last night, for a bit. Then the mosquitoes arrive to carry you away. I did get potatoes and onions planted. So it is a start. Last Sunday we got our oats and hay seed planted. Things are happening.

Up here in Northern Michigan I was working in my herb garden today. You know that saying about perennial plants: “The first year year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third year they leap”? Well this 4th year my oregano leaped and danced and jumped - All Over My Garden!!! (I knew mint could be very invasive but did not realize oregano could be the same - or worse!) I think I pulled out enough to easily stock an Italian restaurant for a year.

Along with planting time, we finally got a bit of rain. A half an inch on Friday. That is the first in 3 weeks at least. Rain makes everything perk up.

Here in Colorado on Monday, we had a hail storm. The old timers said it was the worst they've ever seen here. So today is a day of replanting. I'm so thankful that God gives strength exactly when needed. Trowels, shovels and seeds in hand, here we go!!

I replanted lettuce yesterday. Things are just not coming up good. I have started watering the whole garden now. A chance of rain Sat night through Sunday, 40%. Hopefully we get some.

I know I am going against the wisdom of when planting herbs in Texas you do it in the fall, but rosemary was back in stock, and I didn't want to wait to order it after it was picked over. The one-gal rosemary plant arrived today, and it is beautiful. Now to keep it alive in 95 degrees. I will re-pot it into a large pot and keep it in filtered sunlight on the back deck until cooler weather.
