Spring in Pittsburgh

Filed under: Our gardens — Sallie @ 8:34 pm

Okay – try living in Pittsburgh right now. We are well and truly in mud season, that time when you really see all the stuff in the garden that you should have cleaned up in the fall, but it was mud season then, too, right before it froze solid. Bleah. I’m not sure if I envy the snow of 5 hours North or the dry of Texas! ah well, thank goodness for the garden catalogs…

In a month or so it should be dry enough to get the clean up done and I’ll need to cut this particular friend back hard.  At least I am not behind on this.  Yet!

Spring in Texas

Filed under: Our gardens — Midge @ 9:21 am

Spring has started to arrive here in Texas. The trees are starting to leaf out and soon the flowering trees will be in full blossom. It is my favorite time in Texas, a great time to get out and garden before the heat of the summer gets here. It’s been a dry spring and I am already having to use our sprinkler system.
