Ida’s
Notebook
Ida Risser
We have had a cool and dry
spring in our area. Things grow
rather slowly in cool weather, but
my husband still brings me a
bunch of asparagus each morning.
It seems that I got overly anxious
and put some house plants in the
comer of the garden where they
froze. Maybe I had better wait a
firewood?

they were not taken care of last
summer. So, we’ve had piles and
piles of weeds and I’m afraid that
there will not be many blossoms
even though I have hundreds of
plants. The garden cress is bearing

neighbors are helping me to use it
as they make a lot of salads.
Because some fruit trees died,
Allen bought another cherry and
another pear. He tells me that the
quince is full of blossoms. He
even ordered two small papaw
trees that will take years to bear.
But, that is okay as I have big trees
that my father helped me to plant
25 years ago. They do drop their
fruit and if I don’t watch carefully
an animal will eat them overnight
This spring we planted a row of
small dogwoods on our hillside.
Nearby are newly purchased black
walnut trees which are doing fine.
The other day we tried to trans
plant some hollyhocks. They had
grown together as I planted them
too clsoe to each other. Now they
are wilting. Not everything works
out as we wish.
