Thanks to the spring cleaning I’m doing, I’m feeling re-energized to make good on a lot of things on my resolutions list. Oh, a few have passed their expiration date, but better late than never, right? The year’s only a third of the way through, so if I hustle, I can probably make a decent showing. Plus, with the trip to Portland, I’m hoping my creativity will get an even bigger boost. I really feel broken in some aspects of my life, so I need to fix things. One step at a time, as long as I’m not standing still. Stopping to smell the roses is all fine and dandy, but first, I need to have roses to smell.

Day one of two-day forecasted rain/snow weather. Then it jumps to the 70s! Things aren’t looking like some plants will survive. They’ll wilt and then fry. :(

I know this will put my lemon tree into dormancy and who knows what it will do to the hoya that is in quarantine with it.

Spent the evening working on the seedlings indoors. Had to repot a lot of them, dump a few and just water the rest. No planting tonight. From the looks of the 10-day weather forecast, I may be able to start hardening off the seedlings in a week or so. I hope a majority of them make it to mid-May, which is our average last frost date AND the plant swap. Things look a bit more organized though, so I hope that helps me come planting time.
