Roses and the storm

There is going to be quite a storm this weekend here in So Cal. Which is really sad if you look at everyone's Spring gardens. We are just budding out or blooming because of the unseasonal warmth and lovely weather we have had these last few weeks.

So they are predicting winds and hail and several inches of rain. Not that we don't need the rain it's the other stuff the wreaks havoc with the gentle first blossoms of Spring. So I have been harvesting all the beautiful blooms I have. I have 4 vases of roses a few of daffodils and ranunculus and my home looks like a florist shop.

But here is my recommendations for you. If you can move tender blossoms under cover do it. All those seedlings you have planted and pots of impatience or other spring flowers need cover for this weekend Better safe than sorry if you've been planting lately.

Hope you stay warm and dry this weekend. And Happy St Patricks day.
