I would think the yellow weed attracts pollinators, too. But now that the farmers are starting in the fields, it won't be around long.<br /><br />Jay, I will check this out. I know plants have different names in different places...and I certainly won't eat any leaves! Thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Maggie, By the time I posted this we had had several days of sunshine; I'm happy!<br /><br />Mean Mom, So sorry about your clematis. I've noticed flowers on UK blogs that I can't grow either, so I guess we have to work within the limits of our garden. The rain has frustrated me just because I am SO far behind on garden work, too.<br /><br />Sarah, We live in an area that is prone to flooding so a lot of rain at once can really cause problems. I love seeing all the new spring blooms each day.<br /><br />Susie, I bet these yellow weeds are everywhere.<br /><br />Beckie, Well, I had been wondering for a week or two what I would do for R:) If the sunshine holds, I should get the most important stuff done. Otherwise ....It will just wait until June 1:)<br /><br /><br />MG, I wish I could send some of this rain your way! The clematis is such a cooperative plant for photographing.<br /><br />Tumblewords, Thanks; we all want just the right amount of rain--not too much nor too little.<br /><br />Karyn, I know this summer there will certainly be days when I'll be praying for rain, too!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-42552783357692830822009-05-21T07:12:42.062-05:002009-05-21T07:12:42.062-05:00Marnie, the tractors are start to work in the fiel...Marnie, the tractors are start to work in the fields this morning. They're behind, too, but not as bad as last year.<br /><br />Joyce, It is kind of a pretty flower, isn't it? Flooded basements seems to a big problem around here; at least I didn't have to contend with that this year.<br /><br />Carol, The yellow rocket does make the fields rather pretty. <br /><br />Tina, Once I get everything planted I won't be so upset when it rains...a little:)<br /><br />Sherry, It is finally dry enough here to plant, but I always seem to have to work on sunny days!<br /><br />Reader Wil, Thank you; the clematis is a welcome sight.<br /><br />RuneE, Your absolutely right! Parts of the country are going throuh a drought, which is not good either.<br /><br />Suburbia, The rain has finally stopped here; maybe you'll have sunny days, too. I don't know about eating the leaves...I would want to make sure I did more research first!<br /><br />Frances, The clematis is a very willing model for photos:) I do believe it waited on purpose till after Bloom Day to open.<br /><br />Gail, It's finally dry here, too; I'm hoping to make a dent in my "pot ghetto."
