Slippery Slope

It's a slippery slope between frosty mornings and the right time to plant. The spring bulbs weather the snowfalls and frosts. The lilacs sit in waiting. And then on a warm day, today, I walked out to the barn and saw 3 leftover pots from last year with new growth. Any plant that makes it through winter deserves to be dragged to the deck, watered and set in the sun. Then I found the seeds I'd gathered late last summer. Hundreds of scarlet runner beans, marigolds, nasturtiums and more; all waiting to be placed in the warm earth. I'm not too sure of the warm earth part (this is Colorado), but tomorrow is as long as I can wait. Seeds...start your engines!
