What would Jane Austen Grow?

What a wonderful day in the garden. It was quite a pleasant temperature and I dressed right. Two layers was sufficient. At my house, it only sprinkled briefly. Mitch and I were quite busy, finishing some tasks that should have been done in the fall and others that were perfectly timed. We enjoyed Oolong tea while pondering the rearrangement of our Rose garden. Regarding the tea, we became quite enamored witht the whole tea ritual when we visited the Chinese Gardens in Portland. It was around this time 2 or 3 years ago. We purchased the tea and a steeping cup. We later filled in with serving cups, one of which has gone missing, and a tea pot. I’m sure the neighborhood thought we were nuts, sitting in white plastic chairs near our garage sipping tea. Oh well, I imagine everyone knows we are crazy by now.
Tomorrow we finish raking the leaves in the back yard, scrub the vinyl fence, and prepare a new bed for planting.
Spring is in the air. At least it felt that way today.
