I didn't get that many annuals from Marsha and now that I'm considering all I have to plant, I'm okay with that.
My goal is to try to get everybody plants I'm holding to them by Saturday. Lows are above 50 for the next 10 days so we can start putting in our summer plants.
We have about 10 days before the two kinds of cicadas emerge. Rare occurrence. These bugs are big, freaky looking and loud! They live about 3 to 4 weeks. My cats consider them play toys and appetizers, yucky! And because every bug has a purpose: "Cicadas are not dangerous and can provide some environmental benefits including: Cicadas are a valuable food source for birds and other predators. Cicadas can aerate lawns and improve water filtration into the ground. Cicadas add nutrients to the soil as they decompose."
