I will admit it. I am feeling a bit nervous today.
The weather man says that starting on Thursday, a cool system will be moving into our area. With the predicted rain and daily highs of only 11 or 12 this could mean that our friend, snow, will make one last appearance.
Now this wouldn't normally bother me but I am a gardener now! I am tilling the soil, nursing the seedlings, dutifully using my compost bin and dreaming of a pretty rain barrel! My tulips are reaching skyward and sending out blooms. There are lemon yellow pansies popping up here and there. The irises, poppies and delphiniums are all happily growing away.
I am sure that generations of Calgary gardeners have soldiered through spring's unpredictable skies but until I see my beauties survive, my stiff upper lip will remain slightly pouty.
