I've had quite a sad week in the garden, discovering that a lot of shrubs and perennials haven't survived the unusual cold weather we had early in the year. I am actually going to buy more, having worried that I would have no space for my last lot of purchases.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-42846892859734800472009-04-25T09:35:00.000+01:002009-04-25T09:35:00.000+01:00April Love - wonderful.

Nowhere to put them at the moment.Susie Verekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231577537523515291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-76667013273405527772009-04-20T23:08:00.000+01:002009-04-20T23:08:00.000+01:00Harry, I'm glad I can still spring a few surprises...Harry, I'm glad I can still spring a few surprises. I read very widely and just wish that there were more hours in the day or fewer duties, so that I could get through more.<br /><br />Lucky you, to have 3 springs - the best season, I think. I hope your garden recovers. We rarely suffer from a lack of rain here, in fact Devon is the wettest county in England.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-30846887316222755272009-04-20T22:33:00.000+01:002009-04-20T22:33:00.000+01:00The R.U.R. guy?

Your book notes continue to surprise me.<br /><br />I get 3 springs this year: One in Hawaii (not very dramatic), then one in Florida (if Housman had seen the redbud in bloom, he'd have thought less of the cherry) and finally one in New York City, which has quite a lot of flowering trees, including magnolias and plums where I was.<br /><br />The downside was that when I got back home, most of the stuff I had planted in March had died of the drouth. Fortunately, where I live, you get do-overs.Harry Eagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196202758858876402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-973153097167749602009-04-19T22:42:00.000+01:002009-04-19T22:42:00.000+01:00Welcome, Jay.

I'd heard him on the radio, but never seen him sing. Effortless, huh? <br /><br />I'm with you on the gardening thing too. Twice a year I find myself surrounded with far too many very expensive plants and nowhere to plant them.
