It is run away fronm momma day. Momma did not get the memo, and is not amused.

Been too busy chasing kids to do more than dig out the spare clematis seedlings. Not sure what I'm going to do with them, 'cuz they're nothing fancy, just the white-flowered virgin's bower, and I've got a couple established chunks already. Thought abiut replacing the new wisteria with some, because the new wisteria hasn't done anything so far. But after careful checking, most of its trunk is still alive, so I'll give it a little longer.

D's advice on siting the new grapes was to plant them on the garden fence and shoot (and eat) the wildlife. I like that plan, nice and simple. So tomorrow morning, I'll go out and spray Roudup before the wind comes up, and get a good kill zone around the fence, and once that kicks in I'll plant the grapes.

The magnolia is blooming today, and the crabapple in the front yard will be blooming soon., first time for it. The redbud seedling I got from a volunteer at school will bloom for the first time this year. And the buds on my first wisteria are fat and sassy and plentiful.

I don't expect much out of the iris I've moed this season, but maybe one or two will bloom so I can see colors. all of the established peonies look good so far, and the new ones from Walmart are putting up new shoots. They may bloom this seasonm **crosses fingers**

All in all, a very springy day.
