It's nice to hear from you Peggy. Sounds like you've been very busy. This forum has been slow and I don't check it as often as I used to. Gardenforums.org seems to load faster for me. There's no adds to wait on like here. I still have to use a dial up connection and our computer keeps getting slower and slower. I thought we would have DSL by now. It's not like we're way out in the boonies but it's still "coming soon".
I don't think I'm ready for the 90's. It would be nice if spring and fall was longer and summer was a little shorter. I need more time to get my outside work done.
Sorry to hear your Mother's Day sales weren't very good. It was cold and rainy here when I bought flowers for my mother. We've had a lot of nice days too though.
Hope your garden swap goes well.

Peggy, I'm like Christie; don't check in as much and am using the other forum more. BTW, I'm having to log in everytime here and that is a nuisance!

Our springs sounds exactly like yours is. My sis in Iowa has a greenhouse and their spring was like this too. I don't know yet how her sales went, but she was sure disappointed in the weather. Hope total sales turn out good for both of you.

It hit 90° here this week and the garden looks dry where it isn't mulched. I have been busy trying to get the vegetable garden in and planting plants. I still have a picnic table full to get in the ground; hopefully, this week will catch me up. My goal this year is to get the entire garden under mulch and leave it in place ala Ruth Stout.

Hope you garden swap is a huge success.

Happy Gardening.
