Crazy year. I'm predicting it's just around the corner though, that part where it's suddenly 90 degrees every day without warning. It would be nice if we could get a little bit more gradual transition. The good news is the new plants are getting watered in without any extra effort.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-72108285983413454432010-05-23T20:51:26.091-07:002010-05-23T20:51:26.091-07:00Karen, it's just been miserable!

But unfortunately there was no time spent relaxing on the patio.<br /><br />Sylvana, thank you! You just made my day.<br /><br />Rainforest Gardener, thanks! IKEA...although I was sad to see they didn't bring it back this year.<br /><br />Pam, (ha) thanks! I would love to have you join me for a beverage...come on up! As for our warming temps...not much. It has been unseasonably cool. Lows in the low 40's and highs barely reaching 60. Not at all what it should be!<br /><br />linda, the sad and the drippy look to be continuing too...<br /><br />Laura, when...oh when will it stop?<br /><br />MulchMaid, I have an eye on the Peony's...leaving them on the plant until the just start to open, because once they do, like you describe, the rain will beat them down. I'll be out there with my clippers to cut them and bring them inside to enjoy.<br /><br />ricki, well! I am glad to hear the rain is benefiting someone!<br /><br />MT Julie, I am sorry to hear it's getting you too!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-18823918420747272772010-05-22T10:25:29.683-07:002010-05-22T10:25:29.683-07:00Our weather is being so unseasonably cold.

I fell for that siren song of a warm spell too, but couldn't find the time to move everything outdoors...and the rain keeps people at home, where I can find and count them.

My salvia and the callas are all beaten down over the lawn.

Yes, weather, please cooperate! Visitors must be honored with warm sun, as must tender plants! I am worrying that many folks are losing tomatoes and other tender plants - it was down into the low 40s for us last night, or maybe even lower!
