Winter came and went as we huddled inside waiting for the Covid19 to pass. I really missed the plant shows and sales this year.

I spent the early spring taking cuttings from shrubs and planting them as they rooted.

It’s been a moderate spring weatherwise and the outdoor plants are quite content and happily growing. We’ll see what the rest of the year brings.
