Days and days of rain! And weeds! I bought flats of annuals and some herbs to put in and they are sitting on the deck just waiting. Maybe next week by the looks of the weather reports. Shopping around, I found two of the recommended places for plants -- Shopko for cheap flats and Kliens for perenials and vegies -- very useful. I still need to find a place for shrubs that has a good variety of interesting stuff. The plan this fall is to plant evergreens and maybe another hydrangea or so.
Gardening line up right now is (1) finish front mulching; (2) plant; (3) re-do compost; (4) work back beds. Now if the rain would stop.

The gardener
I garden in Madison, Wisconsin, zone 5a. I came to live here in Summer of '07. In Spring '08, I saw what the last gardener left behind. Lots and lots of plants but without a discernable design. In Spring '09, I was absent for weeks at a time from my garden. In Spring '10, I started taking notes and making plans but dove head first into grief in July. '11 and '12 passed with cleaning mulching. Spring of '13 has started late and I plan to return to my garden.
