The temperature today got up to 88\u00b0. In about twelve hours it will be down to around 30\u00b0; it’s springtime in Kansas. It will be cold again Thursday morning, but after that it should<\/em> be safe to plant this year’s batch of seedlings outside. As usual, I was over-ambitious and will have plenty to give away should anyone reading this be in the central Kansas area soon. I concentrated on drought-tolerant perennials this year. Once they’re established, most will need little care, though they all will need regular watering during their first summer. A few will bloom this year, but most will require patience.<\/p>\n
