Oh yes - we are still having little winters as my grandma used to call them. We had a cold snap last weekend which she would call "Red Bud Winter". This weekend we are having a very cold snap that included a freeze warning for most of Middle Tennessee - this would be "Dogwood Winter". We are not out of the woods yet - there will be "Honeysuckle Winter" and "Blackberry Winter".
Dalton and I planted some more red and white onions this week. The "taters" are coming up. Darren and the boys covered them last night with a tarp. This time last year we had green beans that got nipped pretty bad by the frost so we are holding off on planting a lot till we are sure there will not be a frost. I just hope our trees did not get nipped. The peach trees had already bloomed and were putting on leaves. The apples trees have just started putting on buds.
Dalton and I stopped by Lowe's last Sunday after church. Oh they had so much that we wanted to get, but I told him it was just too soon and that I wanted to plant most of my stuff from seed. He has made a mental list of what he wants in each of my flower beds not to mention the trees that he thinks we should get. He told me he had $20 dollars that he would put toward a tree fund. I think he may grow up to be a landscaper/designer. My Mason is the opposite he has no interest in gardening. I hope to eventually change his mind.
I think we will have a really good strawberry patch this year. The plants are gorgeous and putting on blooms like crazy! I'm already planning on making strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, and plum jam!! I will be busy!
P.S. Parsley is still alive!
