Hi Everyone! Still in Chicago today at one of our properties. I looked at the
gardens and saw how the lilies of the valley were struggling and needed a little help. I once had time for extra large flower, fruit, and vegetable gardens and orchards. In fact, I had married a farmer and I had at one time a 10 acre field of my own. Yep, that was back-breaking... Hahaha.... Made me sort of sad that I no longer have this free time. I love Spring and got to thinking about it. Tomorrow I am going to go out and help those tulips and lilies of the valley. Wishing all of you a wonderful Spring and the prettiest gardens and an overflowing abundance of goodies. Spring, the season of Hope. Jane
