A short break...

Notes from Steve...

    Spring has hit hard with a long list of tasks, chores, jobs, and obligations, making it difficult to maintain blog postings. 

    A minor update -- the rose trellises proved to be an ambivalent success regarding their ability to withstand the wind -- such ability seems somewhat dependent on their being anchored to the plants that they are in turn supporting -- a true symbiotic relationship.

    Jim Edminister was correct, the tulips proved to be too much of a temptation for passers-by.  I had to clip the remaining blossoms in order to prevent the bulbs from being pulled up.  The show has been magnificent though -- the classic tulips are almost done, the Rembrandts are just manifesting their full glory, and the species tulips are just about to blossom, probably next Tuesday or so.
