Good morning gardeners and friends. I noted last week was Imbolc, or Brigid’s Day for Celtic people. Half-way between solstice and equinox, one of the fire celebrations. Imbolc means in the belly, referring to the large number of animals waiting to give birth in the Spring. It is the start of Spring in my neck of the world. The first crocus patch is in full Spring.
I got some more pruning done. I also got a good spray of sulfur on trees and shrubs. OSU extension has lots of information on sprays and pruning. I do not have my new electric sprayer set up, but that will happen soon. I will use copper, sulfur and mineral oil, nothing with a long name and warnings of death to fish.
My daughter lives in Portland with her husband and two girls. I have been doing some gardening there. They are getting a number of native plants this weekend.
Around here I have some geraniums blooming in the basement
