VT Wrap-Up.

4-19-10 VERMONT: The storm ended without any extra rain today, just another 0.1 inch last night. Today was cool, dry, breezy and ocasionally sunny. I finished up the April chores. I did a fence patrol and cut cleared some dead fall on the fence, nothing huge, and tightened up a sagging segment. I finished the veggie fence and staked it in place. I did pruning on lilacs and apple trees now that they have broken out of bud phase. Add in peony and delphinium supports for the flowers of June.

Some perenials and biennials that seem late to awake: tiarella, valerian, epimedium, mallow and some hostas. Serviceberry and star magnolia are about to bloom, I will probably miss them. Back in May, NJ tomorrow.
