Global warming may explain our recent miserable weather.

I think I posted about this a few years ago, too. All I know is that I want snow in the winter where it belongs, and melting in March, and crocuses in April.

Our crocuses are over and done, they were blooming a month ago. We have really got to get going on the garden, it's time to till again.

We're trying a diversity of squash this year, crookneck, zucchini, pink banana (don't laugh, I didn't name it), delicata, butternut, and a free packet I got from Seed Savers of some kind of pumpkin.

I'm trying a summer and winter variety packet in hopes of finding a squash the nieces will eat, but odds are it'll all go to the food bank. I can only hope three sisters planting is all its cracked up to be, because what I really want out of the trio are the corn and beans!

As far as tilling goes, I've been reading up on no-till gardening. Were it not for the huge chunks of rock, I'd do that this year.

Yes, it was this article, Bundle up, It's Global Warming' (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/26/opinion/26cohen.html?_r=0).

Crocuses in April are late, though. Even with the frosty March we've had, some crocuses are still in full flower and most are already done. April is for daffodils ;)

Whatever, I wants 'em. I prefer cold weather!

On the plus side, the fact that it's April on Monday and we don't have a single daffodil out yet... might mean there are still tulips around for my June wedding. And that would be amazing, because not being able to have my favourite flower at my wedding was making me unhappy.

Fingers crossed for a silver lining from this bizarre weather!
