Part of the lawn is mowed and then it rains so that the remaining grass must wait un til the next day. In the morning we can watch a half dozen American goldfinch sitting in our small oak tree. The bluebirds have decided to nest in one of our birdhouses. And, sever al mockingbirds live nearby. It has become a tradition for our youngest daughter to give me a bouquet each May first At one time it was simply some flowers like buttercups that she picked in the meadow. But now that she lives in Texas, a florist delivers the flowers. This year she sent two miniature red rose bushes in a bas ket Our sugar peas are getting buds, and by the end of the month, there may be some to pick. Some people do not like frozen peas but I’ve discovered that if the peas are thawed, before they are put in the kettle, and then only brought to a boil they will not be too soft and overcooked. My gladiolas and four kinds of lilies have been planted. Now 1 must put some houseplants in the garden too. I thought that I planted radishes, but they came up, and now I have a lot of Chinese cab bage to transplant. That is what happens when you save your own seed and do not mark it properly. With all of the moisture that we have just now, it is difficult to keep the weeds pulled. But the damp ground is just the thing as I plant new begonias and impatiens. Some of our azaleas are spectacu lar this year with their white, pink and red blossoms. M-pjune^ 908/454-7900 P.O. Box 126, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865 Illinois only, call 1-800-426-6686
