Not much gardening going on here this weekend.
We are expecting snow on Saturday. I hope I can keep the greenhouse warm enough so I don't have to bring all the seedlings in the house. Crazy Oklahoma spring once again.

1. Bill's on his way home and stopping at Lowe's

for peat pots and potting soil so I can start seeds in the house this weekend, since we're so far behind this year.

You ought to post that slow gardening article from the NYT in this group. :hi:

Hope he gets home before it totally breaks loose. Thundering and heavily sprinkling here now.

7. We're getting the edge of it today in West Arkansas.
I couldn't believe it....snowing this AM,
Nothing like what you got....little icy flakes on a driving wind.
I was working in a tee shirt yesterday....and now this. 24F forecast low tonight.

Oh well, other stuff to do.

Lots of seedlings in the bathroom.

9. Wow - now I feel guilty!
You folks are still getting snow?!?! I moved away from snow country here, & I must admit I DON'T miss having to shovel a path to the bunkhouse to get to do the laundry! I DO kinda miss getting the short 3 week 'snowed-ins' - when you know it's short term it's fun to cozy up.

On the other hand, today I liberated MY bathroom - the bananas got moved back out to the yard! Guilty woo-hoo here!

Hope it thaws out & gets back to growing weather for everybody real soon!

8. I think I'll get out a do some yardwork tomorrow, but today has been
a washout. Rain early this morning. Spits and sprinkles of snow and rain today, freeze warning tonight, but tomorrow is supposed to be partly cloudy with a high near 60. I am so ready to get some dirt under my fingernails.

10. Bill brought home two peat trays of 50 pots each
and started a bunch of stuff today. I'm going to get a couple more tomorrow. So a little gardening did get done here today. LOL

The snow is almost gone and it's yucky wet and muddy but the beds at least got a good soaking which they did need, so that was a good thing.
