      Cloudy morning and looks like we will have the clouds all day.  We will have less sunlight with the eclipse, but we will not be able to see it.  We will have to watch it as others take pictures and video. 
I am back to writing each day.  GOAL this week is to get lots of plants planted.  Four of us will be planting so that should be what will happen.  A little stressed out with the plants in the plug trays and need to be planted.  BUT it will happen, I promise you. 

Pam and I attended the NIACC gardening seminar on Saturday.  We had a good time.  I took stuff but I did a little presentation about what we do with planting, talking about the plant plugs, the potting mixture, and then the gardeners got to plant.  As Pam told me, when I started that presentation, I got into  my teaching voice.  I do love to share and to educate. 

Interesting weather, temperature says warm, but we have been having that North wind or the wind out of the east that has been very cold and strong. Change in weather for sure.
This week (Monday-Friday) I am open every afternoon.  Seed potatoes and onion sets are in.  You will see what the work in progress is with planting.

I am posting what the Farmers’ Almanac says about April weather.  It seems so far it is right on for us here in the Midwest.  We are having much needed rain. This is good. 
It’s time to look at weather predictions for April 2024! Will April have enough showers to bring out those May flowers? Let’s see what sort of spring weather April has in store for us this year.
