Spring has gotten a jump start here in the Pacific Northwest. The other day I saw the cherry trees in the Quad on the UW Campus are getting ready to burst forth in bloom and there's plenty of work to do in my garden. Which is where you'll find me this weekend - hopefully the weather will cooperate and give me some sunshine and warmth to work in.
This morning I received a timely an email from Plant Amnesty this morning listing all the plant sales that will be happening in the Puget Sound Region. There are few I plan to make it to and thought you might like to know about them also.
