Hi Friends & Fellow Gardeners!

Hope all you mothers had a great Mothers Day this past weekend...even if it did rain!

But who can complain about the rain? Even though it dampened the day a bit at the nursery on Sunday, the plants at the nursery, and in our gardens, sure appreciated the natural water! There's something about the natural water that makes plants happy. Maybe it's those negative ions?

The way things are looking now, it looks like the Farmers Almanac might be right once again. The 2012 Almanac called for cooler than average temperatures and 6 inches above average rainfall for Summer 2012. Well, it's mid spring and we're seeing average temps and there's more rain in the forecast. But, we're not into summer yet, that happens June 21, so who really knows? One way or another, we keep on gardening!

Now to tips and reminders...

May is a good time to get an extra coat of mulch on the ground, particularly around the root systems of shrubs, perennials and trees. A 1-inch thick layer of shredded wood mulch or pine straw will help hold in moisture during summer. Too, over time the mulch will decompose into rich organic matter that your plants will certainly appreciate.

Avoid putting mulch too thick around your plants as this can keep water from reaching the roots. Also, keep at least a 2-inch space between the mulch and the trunks of trees and shrubs to avoid rotting.
