may

Delirious. Doesn't that word mean swooning with all kinds of stimuli that are intoxicating but overwhelming? That's how May affects us.

So much to do! Weed, Fertilize, Water....(we haven't had any measurable rain for awhile, and now is when emerging plants need it most.)

Try to be patient planting tender perennials annuals outside. Tropicals like heat, especially warmth at night, and will sit and chill if planted too soon. The old timers in our neighborhood always cautioned 'Wait until Memorial Day."
