Mary Ann’s Got the Blues

We can interpret why Mary Ann Bastin has the blues – this weather condition ! We ’re glad that the GPOD can proffer some relief to those in stubborn mood . Keep the faith !

" greeting from Cambridge in Southern Ontario . I am definitely sense the blues this week because we have been experiencing a very late winter here . Today is April 10th and more snow is come today . Last weekend we had almost 10 column inch of snow which covered our early fleur-de-lis and crocus in bloom and the daffodils were in full bud and as the C. P. Snow is melting these are sock down because of the weightiness of the snow so may bloom in a prostrate position this year .

We have been gardening in this location for five years now . Last year I shared a few of our clematis pictures with you . Today I partake in some of my best-loved “ blue ” bloomers . Some have asked our secret to achiever in this unpredictable climate . We use draught tolerant garden technique bulge with near dirt and mulch to conserve wet . We feed with the applications programme of dry out kelp which is sluttish to apply . It is a interchangeable consistency to dried basil so I just throw a handful around most plant in the early spring and let the rains wash off it in . We compost as much as possible and use the result soil to build new gardens and enrich our organic vegetable beds .

It is with invidia that I enjoy viewing many other garden on GPOD and I am hope that after today ’s snowstorm we will finally enjoy some spring atmospheric condition and the source of our horticulture time of year here . Until then I will go back to looking at pic from last year and dreaming of spring ! "
