It's been a while since I've updated this, but things are starting to get interesting in the garden! A few warm days and a few weeks of rain shown me what will be back this year and what I may have to replace. What I've lost- possibly two of the five Astilbe's that were planted last year, my creeping phlox which never did well in its spot and...a good portion of the Bibb lettuce that I seeded didn't survive the gradual transfer outside. Not to worry thou, groups of three Astilbe's will look just fine, there is no room for my phlox anymore and I have seeded more lettuce directly out in the garden. Along with more Romaine, Baby Spinach--which I am having much better luck with this year, and Sugar Daddy Peas! I also have a container of Basil for Pesto growing in the house yet that needs to be divided, but I'll get to that later.

The portion of this entry that relates to 'the conclusion of Mother's Day' is my gift to Mom. I was unable to finish it on time without ignoring her for 36 hours straight and thought it would be better to spend the day with her. ; ) I just finished the quilt tonight and here's a picture of my Mom enjoying it!
