>> Sunday we drove to Portland and back (from Seattle) because One Green World was holding a little event to pick out your tree root stock and then pick out what kind of tree it gets grafted onto it.<<

That is so exciting! I would love something like that.

>>Today we worked on the garden beds, cleaning out blackberries and weeding. Should be time to plant some of the cool hardy veggies and flowers!<<

This year I'm potting up wildflower seeds early so they can sit outside and sprout whenever they feel like it. Pots can be worked far earlier than the ground -- if I keep the potting soil indoors so it doesn't freeze solid.
