3/21/25  There is something healing in the refrains of nature.  Dawn comes after night, spring comes after winter.

Clouds, showers and fog, calm, 37 degrees.  Rain today with a north wind, a high of 40.  Rain this evening, clearing overnight with a NW wind.  a low of 31,  Sunshine tomorrow with a brisk WSW breeze, a high of 56, a low of 24.  Sunshine Sunday with a strong NW wind, a high of 34, a low of 19.  2-6 inches of snow Monday afternoon and night.  A SE breeze during the day, a NE breeze at night.  The high 33, the low 19.  Mostly cloudy Tuesday and Wednesday with highs of 45 and 42, lows of 26.  Partly cloudy Thursday and Friday with stiff WNW breezes, highs about 43, lows about 27.  Mostly cloudy next Saturday with a WSW breeze, a high of 44, a low of 32.  PM showers next Sunday with a stiff WSW breeze, a high of 50, a low of 29. Lots of clouds Monday the 31st and the first four days of April.   Highs in the low forties Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,high forties Thursday and Friday.  Lows around 30 until Friday when the low is 36..

   Planting, transplanting and watering have filled the days.  Now as the plants are growing, rearranging them and moving some to the new greenhouse are added in the days.  To give them room to grow into a nicely rounded plant the geraniums are spread out so they take up twice as much room.  To make room for the geraniums the pansies were moved to the back room.  They are happier there, the main greenhouse is too warm for them.  A month ago even pansies could be put next to the outside wall, it was getting too cold at night.

   Today Bekah is going to take time from greenhouse work to place an order with the Paris Farmers Union.  More and more people are growing their own vegetables.  They are requesting 50 pound bags of organic fertilizer.  Jay tills in the rye cover crop and adds compost to our vegetable gardens.  Heavy feeders like cucumbers need an extra boost so he gives them some organic fertilizer.  Our blueberries aren't the only ones that need an organic soil acidifier and special fertilizer formulated for blueberries. I'l be putting some of the blueberry fertilizer on my azalea.   Rhododendrons like it too.  All in all they need enough fertilizer and other supplies to meet the 700 dollar minimum order with no problem.

     May your day be blessed, Sally
