Are We Human, or are We Gardeners???

The Killers put on a fabulous show at the 'dome last night starting off with their smash hit 'Are we human or are we dancer', so I had to pose the question to Calgarians - Are We Human, or are We Gardeners? I do know that if you are a Calgary gardener, you may not be human, but you certainly need to be patient! Came back from Mexico to the blissful snowfall of late april in Calgary last night. Had trouble putting on the UGG boots this morning and instead, put on my flip flops. Bad decision, considering I had to brush the snow off my truck and the snow was quite cold as it landed on my open toes! It begs the question - WILL IT EVER BE SUMMER?!?!?
Im heading into Spruce this morning to meet Kath Smyth who will be doing a great vegetables in containers class this upcoming Thursday. This will be a great way to at least start thinking about the possibility of summer.
Will let you know what other exciting stuff is happening at the garden centre after I go and check things out. As I flew through Seattle last night, I saw green grass and the last blooms of the Rhodos, which gives me hope that Spring is making its way west. Here's hoping we can think about planting by the long weekend in May! Have a great day...
