Get your hands in the dirt....

Plants from Milmont Nursery wait to be potted ...

Quince bushes are in full bloom ...

Hanging baskets look skimpy now but will be overflowing in a couple of months ...

Working in the potting shed under the deck ...
Lawn furniture is in place along with the hammock for summer lounging ...
Terra cotta pots wait for flowers ...
Redbud ...
Wisteria ...


Dirt ... spring ... planting ... sunshine ... outdoors.

The past two days in the Valley have been hot with a stiff southerly breeze ... perfect for planting and working in the yard.

The flowers bought last week at Milmont Nursery have been planted in terra cotta pots and window boxes even as shrubs and flowers in the yard are in full bloom.

This is the time to get your hands in the dirt, smell the clean air and green grass, and enjoy spring.

It's spring in the Shenandoah Valley....
