HAPPY FRIDAY!
For those of you that don't know I have three lovely gardens and I've started them again this week. I pulled the weeds from all three and covered the vegetable and herb gardens. I'll be planting those in a couple weeks. One of my chives plants came back and my strawberries are still going strong. I didn't have any herbs other than basil last year, that garden was just flowers, but I want to do more herbs so I'll be experimenting this year. My rose bushes look just awful! I'm learning more about those as I go too. I've pruned them and they've already got some new growth (so early!) so hopefully I can be a better rose mom. I found a bunch of wild onions in the rose garden. I stopped pulling them and am going to let them grow. I've heard they have beautiful flowers.
So, the reason I'm telling all this on the Friday 56 is that my closest book was Neil Sperry's Complete Guide to Texas Gardening. It inspired me to share! Unfortunately, it ruined my theory of every page having something to do with the theme of the book (ironic for a book on gardening!). This one has nothing on pages 56 and 57 because they are chapter dividers! So this from page 58. Here ya go:
Wise landscapers buy quality trees, then care for them regularly. You have, at tree-planting time, control over the generations to come.

I heard a bird singing this morning - which seems odd as we are supposed to get 3-6 inches of snow tonight! But it made me think of spring! My find is here: http://booksandneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2009/02/friday-56-2-20-2009.html
