Problems on top of problems....

Seeding can be stressful. Yesterday was the first time Ladger was able to get to the field for a few days because of the weather. And he was planning to finish up a field that had to be redone because some hoses had been plugged when he seeded it the first time. That means there would be strips with no plants all over the field. As if reseeding isn't enough of a setback, the hydraulic hose sprung a leak and everything came to a grinding halt. He went to town to get the hose fixed and finally after supper got going again. He should have been able to finish the field and get the seeder moved to another field last night but.... the hose hadn't been fixed properly and sprang a leak again. And that was that. He had to wait until this morning to go to town to get the hose 'refixed' and apparently it was done better this time because I can see that he's finally done and off to the next field. Hopefully there won't be more delays this spring as we have a long way to go yet!

It's still cool but yesterday I did go outside and do some pruning and transplanted some perrennials. The tulips are going to start blooming soon but I found my first flower of the spring - a Johnny Jump-up - looks like a miniature pansy. It's under my deck of all places!
