Most people are probably not thrilled with a forecast that starts out with 3 to 5 inches of snow, turning to rain! Now we have an interesting mix of stuff on the ground, but I smile when I look outside because all my small pots of perennials are cozy under the snow. The rain is replenishing our groundwater and keeping dessication at bay. I'm going to start some pansies this week from seed.
The begonias under lights are coming into bloom and looking very happy. B. 'Marmaduke' is looking very good which surprises me since I haven't cared for the looks of it before. One little plant insists on getting mildew but I just hit it with Lysol spray and it behaves itself for a while. The other problem in the light garden is the mice which insist on digging in the pots. I put out peanut butter baited traps but they must have heard about the salmonella problem; they are avoiding the traps!
