PAgirl63's blog: Don't Trust ... April!

Hello my gardening friends,

I bet you're wondering ... don't trust April???? April? What? Huh? Who's ... April? APRIL is a ... real pain! She can't make up her mind. One day she's happy and warm ... next day she's cold and icy. She is very fickle. Yes, I'm talking about the month of ... APRIL.

And she's bringing SNOW. AGAIN! That "horrible word" ... at least in the month of April, it is. Yeah, I know ... Spring snowstorms are not all that unusual in late April ... especially here in the Poconos, but it's REALLY NOT WELCOME! PERIOD. I want to dig in the dirt in my garden beds ... not shovel the snow in my driveway! Well, Ms. APRIL SNOWSTORM is coming tonight and staying until about noon tomorrow. She's bringing maybe 6-8 inches of snow ... very wet snow with her. There is one saving grace though ... it's supposed to be in the low 60's by the end of the week. The snow will be gone quickly. And ... GOOD RIDDANCE!

Anyway, on to more pleasant things. Not much happening in the garden. The daffodils are starting to flower ... and the coming snow won't bother them in the least. All the garden beds have been cleaned up (winter's leaves) for the most part. Once it warms up a bit, I just want to put down and work in some fresh garden soil in a few spots in my garden beds.

I did do a bit of winter/spring sowing in plastic containers (clean water/gallon milk containers ... take-out food containers, etc.) but nothing's sprouting just yet. I'll probably post a few pics of what's hopefully growing in them in my next post.
Still feeding the deer and the birds. Will probably stop in the first week of May.

Well, that's about it for now. Posted a few pics for ya!

Happy gardening,
Jane
