QNS glad you've shown us that pretty pansy passion! It's so cold here the johnny jump ups are burrowing down into the ground!
GGal so glad the therapy is working. Now when gardening time comes around don't over do it. I usually plant my broccoli next week and by Father's Day have big heads to eat. I'll be surprised if that happens this year. By putting the broccoli in early I avoid the green worms. Once the main head is harvested the side shoots supply throughout the summer--green worms don't mess with the side shoots much. When it's really warm and the side shoots bloom I cut them off and toss until the weather cools again and voila more side shoots appear as the days cool down. This after head harvest is often used to make cream of broccoli soup or sometimes a quick quart or two in the freezer. Yes I'm anxious to get digging in the dirt!
