There are actually a few flowers that are blooming in this cold never ending spring. The Fuschia love it of course and the mt laurel as well. The petunias are in a pot on the porch. A lot of the annuals I planted in a burst of optomism had dampened off. About to give up on cucumbers, I have planted them twice, each time they sprout and look around and fall over dead from shock.
