I was watching the World Curling Championships final game last night, and this proverb came up on the screen...
The wagon rests in winter, the sleigh in summer, the horse never...
I love that - my trainer would also love that! We are his horses...
I am busy setting up vendors to showcase their products at Spruce on the May long weekend. There is so much knowledge that the reps have, so we thought we would bring in a few to share that knowledge with our customers. Everything from soil amendments to appropriate chemical application, to tools of the trade will be showcased from May 15-18th. It should be a great weekend!
Well, the prediction of the European weather channel was incorrect (so far!) about us getting a heavy snowfall today, but the cold wind and nasty looking clouds could prove to be an interesting day in Calgary. The lovely weather over the weekend has lessened my snow piles in my north facing backyard. It makes me wonder why a gardener like myself ever agreed to buy a house with that kind of backyard exposure! Next time I will be more selective. I did notice sooo many plants peeking out from the soil in my front yard, though, so I'm definitely getting the itch to get out there. Word of advice... Don't get too anxious to pull the leaves and debris off your gardens yet. These piles are nice little havens for future ladybugs that will be instrumental in controlling the aphid infestations in summertime. I always wait until May to clean things up.
One more quote - bumper sticker I saw today. What's happening in the world today?? Sadly thought it was funny tho... Honk if you've never seen an Uzi fired from a car window...
I'll sign off with that today...
