Must Do in the Next Two Days:
Order pansies and plant them in treewells.
Plant out chive seedlings, growing on my windowsill since early Feb.
Nip tips of zinnia seedlings on my windowsill, planted for a demo in early Feb. and now much too big to wait for May frost date.
Pull out last year's annuals.
Watch for self-sown California poppies from last year's crop.
Thin bachelor buttons which have self-seeded from two years ago.

Please tell us more about the book!
Georgia, how can I resist? A new how-to book called "Artful Collage: Recyle,Repurpose,Reuse", using mostly my own work as examples, pub. date fall of 2012. "Room with a View" seen above uses torn, recycled papers, 2 buttons from my button box and two used stirring sticks from the coffee shop.
How about your vine? Apios Americana? I've just watered and set mine outdoors in the sunshine.
Hi Shady,
My Apios isn't up yet, either. Spring is taking its time here and I'm finding lots of stuff is late this year. Plus, Apios is late to emerge in spring anyway. Give it time, and keep us posted!
