It’s the first day of spring! It’s been pretty warm and we have a month still until the last average frost date for Saint Louis. That didn’t stop me though, I’m setting up my elevated beds with crossed fingers and planting with a prayer that some wild frost doesn’t kill my new seedlings. I’ll take precautions, but it’s so exciting. This week flower bundles went up for sale on the site. The garden centers are beginning to fill up. People are getting outside. It’s just a great

I'll wait through the rain and through the snow. It'll seem like forever, but when the time and conditions are right, they'll bloom.
