Welcome daylight savings time! I love having the extra hour at the end of the day. So much more can be accomplished at the end of the day now. Yes, those 5 am mornings will be here soon enough when I am out in the garden, but right now I am enjoying the light hours at the end of the day.
I am three days post surgery, and despite all the soreness I am feeling better. Soon I will not be feeling any soreness and I will be feeling my limitations while I am healing. At least with the soreness by body tells me oops, shouldn’t be doing that. Soon, I will just have to pay attention to what my body is doing, and that, I am learning, is very hard to do.
No lifting over a pound for 6-8 weeks, YIKES, and no weight bearing. JEESH. I am getting lots of offers for help from you my flower lovers and believe me, I will be asking for help when needed. I MUST let this heal!
The rush was on last week to get as much done in the flower world as I could before my big day, and I think I got everything done on the list. The seedlings were planted in the High tunnel.
I got the last batch of ranunculus and anemones soaked and planted for sprouting, I pricked out more seedlings and got them into the greenhouse as well as all the other day to day flower jobs. A dear flower friend is coming tomorrow to play tulip crate Tetris, and that will be good for that week. She doesn’t know it yet, but will now when she reads this, that irrigation set up is also on deck. Harvesting tulips I can do, as long as I only put four tulips in my hand at a time. Prepping tulips for sale I can do, and we will see how I will be at bunching. I lose the sling on Tuesday so my range of motion will be freer. Lucky for me, that surgery is now and not even two weeks later when I would be planting out the fields at the end of May!
This is a shot of the varieties of tulips that were available last week,
I don’t have much else to say this week, except a huge thank you to everyone who has sent along best wishes for speedy recovery, texts not to overdo it, offers to help and gifts of food. You guys are all so amazing and I just can’t thank you all enough.
i promise I will take it easy the best I can, so I have good healing, and I will be back next week full of projects and flowers.
Thank you, Allie. I dream of flowers, do you?
