"Spring-like sunshine arrives at last
As April days now warm the earth
Cruel winter is but a memory past-
Once again the world gives birth"

- Water new plantings and blooming shrubs (such as azaleas & rhododendron) regularly. Don't forget to water plants under overhangs.
- To keep your Easter lilies blooming longer; place them in indirect sunlight in a cool room. When the flowers open up, pinch off the yellow anthers.
Once your blooms have faded and all danger of frost has passed, remove the lily from its pot and plant it in a sunny spot in the garden. Easter Lilies like lots of water and good drainage. Be sure to mulch the roots of the plants over winter and remove the mulch again in spring. You'll enjoy your Easter Lilies for years to come.
- The best way to control pests in your garden is to plant resistant varieties. Garlic and pepper sprays, row covers and wood ashes are other effective natural methods for guarding your garden against unwanted visitors.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO PLANT?
If it were illegal to take time to be good to yourself; would they find enough evidence to convict you? Take time to stop and smell the roses. Accumulate more evidence now :)
