The daffodils are about to bloom.  Tonight the temperature is dropping to 29 degrees!  I tested the ph in the yard.  The front yard is a 5-very acid and the back yard is mostly 6.  I think that's strange, because there are so many oak leaves in the back yard, but the front is more acidic.  I put a french lilac behind the peony bed.  I'm gradually enlarging it.  Oh-Pam gave me a rose for a late housewarming present.  It's called Artistry.  A beautiful coral Tea Rose.  It's going to clash with everything.  I stuck it in the Peony bed, too.
