Yesterday, I woke up to snow, then it was sunny, then it snowed again. Today. Blue Sky Day!!

First day to work in the garden. Cultivation chores in the little veggie garden were mostly completed last Fall so it didn't take too long to get some of the onion family in!

These Sterling Whites are saying, 'Hey, I've a feeling we're not in Texas any more!'

They'll have their turn, out in the open garden soon!

I dunno if I mentioned this before, but 10-odd years ago, I had some hybrid "wave" variety of petunias in those baskets, and tried to grow out some of the offspring. So there were all sorts of varieties of petunia - leaf differences, blooming differences, flower size differences, growth habit differences.

I've kept one variety that has huge, deep purple blossoms, stems that when you pinch them, they shoot out 4 or 6 new stems, so one plant will easily fill up a 12" hanging basket, looking spectacular. I propagate if from cuttings, and get a dozen baskets to hang around the place every summer.

I'm gonna patent it, sell it to Monsanto, make a fortune and retire to the Caribbean.
