I cut back the dahlia coccinea and am rooting the trimmings

Plus I've been potting up the peppers.

I should start a tray of mixed greens, lettuces and kales and chards, to go out shortly. As it is we've had that snow, now it's heavy wind and some -10C on the horizon.

(no subject)

It snowed every day since he left. It's only now that the wind is driving those clouds and their insulation away. It had been such a warm winter; now it's a freezing spring and outside sounds like the ocean roaring. Catkins venture out of aspens and willows. If in their short lives they believe a real summer will come then surely, after so many turns of the wheel, so can I?
