Beautiful day for Mother's Day!

Hope everyone enjoyed the day with their mother or just thinking about their mother!  It certainly was a gorgeous day and I spent the day helping my mother in law with her lawn cutting, making hanging baskets, and some general cleaning before settling down for a visit with a nice tasty cup of Lemon Zinger tea!  I visited a couple of our garden centers and was thrilled to see all the people out looking for that perfect plant.  I was amazed at how big all the plants were in the greenhouses and wondered how they do that so early in the year!  In my small greenhouse my plants have just gone into hanging baskets, the tomatoes and peppers have just gone into 1 gallon pots and I hope that I can now keep them in the greenhouse overnight without heat!  It has been so cold here that I have babied them every night and brought them indoors.  I am certain by the May long weekend they will be as big as the plants I seen in the commercial greenhouses today!  Just in time for my first opening!  Keep reading - More to come by the long weekend!
