It has been the best spring ever, I forgot how much I love spring because it seems we never actually get one. This year has been at lest 2 springs at once. The Peppers and Tomatoes I ordered from Gurney’s are on their way and I’ll get them in this weekend. We are going to buy Tomatillos from the Chilewoman.com and make the trip to Bloomington, IN to pick them up over Memorial Day weekend. For those of you local I have divided Siberian Iris and some leftover onion starts that may or may not be viable so you can just have them. Today I hope to get Sunflower and Zinnia seeds in while I am supposed to be nursing my foot, shhh, don’t tell Babu.
