Here is what the Old Farmer's Almanac is saying about April and May. Doesn't look too bad, but there is some cool days in there and of course rain. See how all of this works with our gardening. I know some of you have used the last couple of days to work and clean up flower beds. That is good. Looks like 29 as a low this weekend, so for you that asked about uncovering roses, I would wait a little bit yet. If they have started to grow the cold temperature will hurt them. Thanks for asking questions. LOVE that....stay well, stay safe God Bless all of you. Becky
