After weeks of not getting out into the garden I ventured out this morning to see what this weather trend has brought us. In a word - mud! The compost that was added last fall has become mud. The mulch that was used to tidy up the soil and insulate the roots this winter - mud! Even some of the shallow rooted ground covers that were living in lower spots have become mud. Not really much you can do to alleviate this problem but wait it out and pray for sunshine. Please excuse me while I get on my knees!

Dear Sheila, I have been watching the CA weather on TV and I am so sorry to see how awful it is for you! I wish you a healthy 2011 and a return to happiness in your garden! P x
