Ready for Mother's Day

Inside the "Geranium House"
The warmer weather seems to be holding fast as the busiest Saturday of the year approaches: the Saturday before Mother's Day. Sometimes I feel like we have been preparing for this day all season. Tasks focus more and more on deadheading and trimming and shaping making everything look its best. Annually, Mother's Day seems to mark the last weekend before the almanac's last frost date. May's uncertainty always brings some risk for planters. I hope the frost stays at bay for all of those dedicated flower and vegetable garden enthusiasts who have been itching to make their gardens a magical place.
