Hello from the great green North!

The daffodils are 6-8” tall with flower pods sitting 3” out of the bulb, the irises 2” taller than the daffs, the day lilies are 5-7” tall.

All the fruit trees are starting to bud, I need to spring prune them and mow the lawn within the next week or two. A couple of mushrooms (not edible unfortunately) showed up in the front flowerbed.

I have to get on the roof with bleach again to slow down the moss, as it is going bananas. (Moss was the root cause of the water/roof/door/windows/more water problems I had last winter).

The indoor garden room is fully drywalled, and the first layer of mud is drying as we speak. Man, is that ever a workout! Second layer of mud goes on tomorrow, then it’s firewood fun for the rest of the afternoon, weather permitting.

Happy growing to all!

Seed starting starts tomorrow.
The forecast is for ice and a bit of snow here in mid-missouri. Good time to be inside the beach house/green house and set up the starting equipment.

Wish I could share pix fom previous years but I think wife and I are prepared.
Fun !

Nice to hear from you. I am intrigued to know more about your garden room. Any chance we could see some pictures?
